(NIV) Acts 7:54-60 "54When they heard this, they were furious and gnashed their teeth at him.55But Stephen, full of the Holy Spirit, looked up to heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God. 56"Look," he said, "I see heaven open and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God." 57At this they covered their ears and, yelling at the top of their voices, they all rushed at him, 58dragged him out of the city and began to stone him. Meanwhile, the witnesses laid their clothes at the feet of a young man named Saul. 59While they were stoning him, Stephen prayed, "Lord Jesus, receive my spirit." 60Then he fell on his knees and cried out, "Lord, do not hold this sin against them." When he had said this, he fell asleep."

Neither, "red coats" were British soldiers stationed in the colonies. They wore red coats as part of their daily uniform hence the moniker "red coats", or "lobster-backs".
Red Coats were the soldiers sent by the British king to control the colonists, who used this term for them because their coats were red. It was the Red Coats that the Americans fought against in the Revolutionary War.
During the stoning of Stephen, according to the book of acts, “ the witnesses laid their coats at the feet of a young man named Saul,” who later converted.
According to the New Testament in the Book of Acts (Acts 7:58), Saul of Tarsus, who later became the Apostle Paul, held the coats of those who stoned Stephen, the first Christian martyr. This act symbolized his approval of the execution and his active participation in the persecution of early Christians. Saul's later conversion to Christianity is a significant turning point in the narrative of the early church.
Stephen was the first the first follower of Christ to be killed. Saul, who was later converted was present at the stoning of Stephen and the bible say's he was consenting and held their coats while they stoned him. We know him as Paul the writer of about 2/3 of the new testament. The short answer is: he (Stephen)was the first recorded christian martyr.
AnswerStephen is mentioned only in Acts of the Apostles, where he is used to introduce Saul (the future Paul) as a cowardly participant in the martyrdom of Stephen. Without Acts, we would know nothing of Stephen, the first Christian martyr.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.
The main symbols are coats that represent the Bible.
Saul, later known as Paul, watched the stoning of Stephen with coats piled at his feet as mentioned in Acts 7:58. He approved of Stephen's death and later became a prominent figure in the early Christian church after his conversion on the road to Damascus.
In the Bible, it talks about how Paul's original name was Saul. He was an educated Jew who hated Christians. He was a part of persecutions of Christians, and the Bible has a specific passage in Acts that talks about Saul holding the coats of the men who stoned Stephen, and Christian. Saul eventually became a Christian after having an encounter with God while traveling from city to city. So yes, there is biblical evidence of Paul (back then Saul) persecuting Christians.
