It is unknown when Stephen, Christianity's first martyr, was born, but timelines put his death at about the year AD 35. He was only a young man when he died, so it may be surmised that he was born sometime in the first decade AD, i.e. probably between the years 1 and 10 AD.
We do not know. All we know is that he had been appointed as a deacon and was stoned to death about the year 33 A.D. while the future Apostle Paul looked on and approved.
