A:According to Acts of the Apostles, Stephen was preachiing about Jesus, and this led to his martyrdom. Surprisingly, the otherwise unknown Stephen was the first Christian martyr, while Peter seems to have been left alone at this stage. Raymond E. Brown (An Introduction to the New Testament) says that we can never verify the martyrdom or even existence of Stephen.
