Footsteps of Paul: Stoning of Stephen

And they stoned Stephen,....And cast him out of the city, and stoned him: and the witnesses laid down their clothes at a young man's feet, whose name was Saul.
Acts 7:59,58
"Saul of Tarsus was present and took a leading part against Stephen. He brought the weight of eloquence
and the logic of the rabbis to bear upon the case, to convince the people that Stephen was preaching delusive and dangerous doctrines; but in Stephen he met one who had a full understanding of the purpose of God...."
Acts of the Apostles p.98 E.G.W.
