Acts of the Apostles says that Stephen was brought before the Sanhedrin to be tried on a charge of blasphemy. During the trial, Acts tells us that Stephen made no attempt to defend himself, merely antagonising the members of the Sanhedrin by reciting a monologue in which he said "Your fathers" persecuted the prophets (Acts 7:51,52), as if unaware that he was also a Jew, and by lecturing them on Jewish history.

In commenting on whether this really happened, Raymond E. Brown (An Introduction to the New Testament) says that we can never verify the martyrdom or even existence of Stephen. However, the story of Stephen has been successful down through the centuries in bringing people to the faith.
