The first recorded Christian martyr was Stephen, whose death by stoning is recorded in Acts of the Apostles. However, Raymond E. Brown (An Introduction to the New Testament) says that we can never verify the existence and martyrdom of Stephen. There is the real possibility that the author of Acts was mistaken when he wrote of the trial and death of St. Stephen.
