The Bible story

Stephen, "full of faith and power, did great wonders and miracles among the people." Men who were not able to resist the wisdom by which he spake set up false witnesses and brought him to the council, and all that sat in the council saw his face "as it had been the face of an angel." Full of the Holy Ghost, Stephen looked up stedfastly into heaven and said, "I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God." They cast him out of the city and stoned him, and Stephen kneeled down and cried, "Lord, lay not this sin to their charge." Read the whole story in Acts 6:8–15; Acts 7:54–60 (KJV).

Memory verse: "And Stephen, full of faith and power, did great wonders and miracles among the people." (Acts 6:8, KJV). It is printed on every level.
