Stephen is described as performing miracles and converting many of the Jews, but was arrested and placed on trial. Instead of defending himself at the trial, Acts portrays Stephen as insulting the Jews and then announcing that he could, at that very moment, see God in heaven above. The angry Jews stoned Stephen, while Saul held their coats.
