Was Paul present at the stoning of James the Just?

There are suspicions that the stoning of Stephen in the mid 30s which is described in Acts is modelled on the stoning of James in 62 CE. Acts has Paul being present at the stoning of Stephen, raising the possibility that he was at the stoning of James. Most chronologies of Paul have him being released from imprisonment in Rome in 62 CE, making his presence at the stoning of James at least feasible.

The stoning of Stephen is mentioned only in Acts of the Apostles, which does not mention his age. The Jewish historian, Josephus does not mention the stoning of Stephen at all, although he does tell of the very similar story of James being stoned.Raymond E. Brown (An Introduction to the New Testament) says that we can never verify the existence and martyrdom of Stephen. So we can never establish how old Stephen was when he was killed.

When did Stephen the first deacon die?

Stephen was stoned to death. It is a very dramatic account of the first follower of Christ to die for his faith. During the stoning Stephen was blessed with a vision of Christ at the right hand of the Father in heaven. Paul, the missionary, was at the stoning. In fact, I believe he supervised the stoning. At the time Paul was called Saul, and he was one of the most ardent persecutors of Jesus' followers. Later Saul was to encounter Christ. He became a follower of Christ and his name was changed to Paul.
