No.
Acts 7:57, 58 - Then they cried out with a loud voice, stopped their ears, and ran at him with one accord; and they cast him out of the city and stoned him. And the witnesses laid down their clothes at the feet of a young man named Saul.[NKJV]
The first Christian martyr was Stephen. Acts 7:58-60 "And cast him out of the city, and stoned him: and the witnesses laid down their clothes at a young man's feet, whose name was Saul. And they stoned Stephen, calling upon God, and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit. And he kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. And when he had said this, he fell asleep."
Acts of the Apostles reports that St Stephen did great wonders and miracles among the people in Jerusalem, but was called before council of the high priest to give an account of himself. Instead of defending himself, Stephen began to deliver an elementary lecture on Jewish history. He looked up and saw Jesus standing on the right hand of God. Stephen told the Jews what he alone could see, at which they cast him out of the city and stoned him.
The book of Acts begins in Jerusalem and ends in Rome.
AnswerActs of the Apostles reports that Stephen was the first Christian martyr, placed on trial for his life because he taught of Jesus, then stoned by the Jews after he claimed to see Jesus sitting on the right hand of God. Raymond E. Brown (An Introduction to the New Testament) says that the scene involving Stephen's trial and death is significant because the death of Stephen in Acts matches so closely the death of Jesus in Luke. Both cases begin with a trial and then the Jewish mob demands the death penalty. Both accounts speak of the Son of Man at the right hand of God (Luke 22:69; Acts 7:56); both have a prayer for the forgiveness of those who are effecting this execution ( Luke 23:34a; Acts 7:60); both have the dying figure commend his spirit heavenward (L uke 23:46; Acts 7:59). Brown says that Acts has shown Peter providing continuity with Jesus' ministry of healing and preaching, while Stephen provides continuity with Jesus' death. He says we can never verify the existence or martyrdom of Stephen.If Stephen did not really exist, then the story of his stoning still served to introduce Saul as the callous young man who watched the punishment but was not man enough to participate, as contrasted with the great apostle who later gave his life to serve Christianity.
st paul was stoned at the city Lystra.
Paul watched while Stephen was being stoned.Another perspective:Saul of Tarsus was witness to the stoning of Stephen (Acts 7:58), perhaps even complicit in it, but he was not yet known as Paul, nor was he a follower of Jesus at the time. The correct answer to the question is "none."
The book of Acts was written by Luke, while he was in Rome staying with the Apostle Paul.
Jerusalem It appears to be Rome. Acts chapter 28
Acts 14:19 And there came thither certain Jews from Antioch and Iconium, who persuaded the people, and having stoned Paul, drew him out of the city, supposing he had been dead.
While preaching the Gospel in the streets, angry Jews who believed his message to be blasphemy dragged him outside the city, and stoned him to death.
A:Saint Stephen is only known from Acts of the Apostles, which tells us that Stephen was interrogated because of his success in preaching to the Jews, although why they chose to try Stephen rather than Peter or any of the other apostles is not made clear. However, this was not real reson for his martyrdom.Rather than defend himself against the charges made against him, Acts says that Stephen engaged in a monologue, surely designed simply to insult the Jews. When he saw that this angered the priests who were trying him, Stephen looked upwards and saw heaven open and Jesus standing on the right hand of God. Apparently the others could not see what Stephen saw, and cast him out of the city, to be stoned to death.We now know that what Stephen saw was scientifically impossible, yet Acts gives this as the immediate reason for his martyrdom. Moreover, Raymond E. Brown (An Introduction to the New Testament) says that we can never verify the martyrdom or even existence of Stephen.
Acts:7:58: And cast him out of the city, and stoned him: and the witnesses laid down their clothes at a young man's feet, whose name was Saul.
