Saul was present when Stephen was stoned.
(Acts 7:54-8:1) 54 Well, at hearing these things, they were infuriated in their hearts and began to grind their teeth at him. 55 But he, being full of holy spirit, gazed into heaven and caught sight of God's glory and of Jesus standing at God's right hand, 56 and he said: "Look! I see the heavens opened up and the Son of man standing at God's right hand." 57 At this they cried out at the top of their voices and put their hands over their ears and rushed at him all together. 58 After throwing him outside the city, they began stoning him. The witnesses laid down their outer garments at the feet of a young man called Saul. 59 As they were stoning Stephen, he made this appeal: "Lord Jesus, receive my spirit." 60 Then, kneeling down, he cried out with a strong voice: "Jehovah, do not charge this sin against them." And after saying this, he fell asleep in death. 8 Saul, for his part, approved of his murder.. . . (NWT)
