The Romans and the Stoning of Stephen
"This is capital punishment. They're ready to condemn him for blasphemy though he was not guilty of it, but to condemn and execute him." "Some scholars in fact refer to the stoning of Stephen as a lynching ... that this is some kind of extra-legal, vigilante justice" But how does he react? Verse 59 and 60. He cried with a loud voice just like Jesus had from the cross and said, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. When he had said this, he fell asleep.
