Stephen was a man who followed Jesus. He spread Gods word but some people didn't like that. He was taken on trial and everyone on the trail got mad because he was still talking about Jesus. There was a bright light and Stephen looked up into Heavan. He was taken outside and was stoned to death. He did not reject or put up a fight but prayed to God. He said, " Lord receive my spirit."

Stephen was a faithful follower of Jesus who spread the Word and was a religious leader. Some of the other religious leaders weren't happy with him, so they started spreading rumours that he was disrespecting and mocking Moses and god. He was soon arrested and sent to trial. Instead of lying and taking his words back, he told them that, because they don't believe that Jesus is the true Son of God, they are, too, disrespecting God and Moses. He got stones thrown at him and, in his last moments, said "Lord, receive my spirit." And, like Jesus at his crucifixion, forgave them and said "Do not hold this sin against them." Then, he died.

Yes. Christians can find inspiration in Saint Stephen today as he is the ultimate model for living out faith with unwavering courage.

# data[].attributes.body
It means that he saw god himself

# data[].attributes.body
faith

# data[].attributes.body
Yes they should because he showed bravery and sacrificed himself just to show his loyalty and we need to show more of that today in 2026 we need to show how we can do our part to help our faith and we can do are best and try to look up to St. Stephen. We should prove that we can be brave and stick up for God and what we believe in. Because it's not just about helping God it's about joining together and showing that we care about our religion. You don't need a big gesture but as long as you follow your beliefs and do your part in your church community, God couldn't ask for anything else. He died for his faith and that is something that should always be commemorated.

that you see your god yourself

Steven received the information of Jesus and with a group of people started spreading the word of god under the name the church and gained more people to believe in their faith but Steven was disliked and so as the rest of them but Steven has been given horrible rumours such as he was critisieing Moses and he was sent to a trial by the other belief he dropped church leaders but at the trial he was given a vision of heaven and jesus holding gods right hand the other beliefs

church leaders could not see because they were so mad and they got so mad they threw rocks at him but at the same time he prayed for their mercy and forgiveness of sin and right after he died the end

he spreaded the word of Jesus but people did not like it so they killed him but he still forgave them like Jesus.

# data[].attributes.body
Stephen’s effectiveness as a biblical witness stemmed from his character and spiritual empowerment. According to Acts, he was a man full of faith, wisdom, and the Holy Spirit. These qualities granted him the boldness to perform miracles, the eloquence to articulate the Gospel, and the courage to endure martyrdom.

# data[].attributes.body
Stephen believed in God spread the word of God people .did not like him so he was arrested and was killed but forgave the people that killed him. When he died he said to God 'Lord receive my spirit' and he said 'do not hold this sin against them.'

# data[].attributes.body
At his trial, he said that they don't believe that Jesus is the true son of God, therefore also disrespecting God and Moses. He showed his faith by choosing death over his religion, becoming a martyr. He also forgave the people who threw stones at him like Jesus did. One of the most important things about St. Stephen is that he trusted God, he always told the truth and spread the word.

# data[].attributes.body
yes because he shows that whatever you go through always follow jesus

# data[].attributes.body

# data[].attributes.body
he showed good qualeties by staying loyal to his faith

# data[].attributes.body
its optional but i think yes. he set an example to follow jesus and that trusting god and beliving in your faith in god will build your connection with him. stevan showed to all christians that we can live out what jesus lived. stevan gave his life for the connection with god. that does not mean that we will have to face sacrifices as big as that but that gods trust is important and he will always respect us and help us through times where we have to doubt our faith.

# data[].attributes.body
He forgave the people who accused him and didn't question their authority . Just like how Jesus did , this shows how strong his faith in God.

# data[].attributes.body
Stephen was a man who gave all for Jesus, even his life. He was full of God's grace and power which helped him share the news of God's rescue plan(his plan for salvation) and Jesus' life. He was a church leader but some people like the religious leaders were not pleased with him for spreading the news of God and Jesus. He was arrested and put on trial even though he wasn't guilty, despite this Stephen didn't back down or take back his words he just carried on speaking about and praising Jesus. Stephen saw heaven heaven open and saw Jesus at the right hand of God. The religious leaders were so mad they dragged him out of the city and threw stones at him to hurt him. He prayed to the Lord and said,'Lord receive my spirit'. Unlike most people who would hold grudges and be extremely cross and annoyed Stephen fell to his knees and forgave all of his enemies. He said, 'Do not hold this sin against them'. Shortly after he died. The news of his death spread quickly and the followers of Jesus fled the country of Jerusalem to avoid the same thing happening to them. However, soon they realised that they could always trust God no matter what so the church grew and the news of Jesus' life spread all over the world.

# data[].attributes.body
He was a follower of Jesus and spread the news. People didn't like that so they lied about what he said to get rid of him in the end he got stoned to death. The church got extremely terrified but they soon realised that God and Jesus will protect them so they spread the word and the Church grew bigger and bigger because of him

# data[].attributes.body
forgivness

# data[].attributes.body
you could say love or respect for Jesus and the whole witness as well as the faith.

# data[].attributes.body
Saint Stephen's effectiveness as a witness—and his status as the first Christian martyr—stemmed from his reputation for integrity and deep spiritual empowerment. He was selected by the apostles not just for administration, but because he was a man of impeccable character.

# data[].attributes.body
When we see God in the world and share that knowledge with others, our lives become our pulpits to witness to our faith. Pray unceasingly—Praying gives us the spiritual resources and inner strength to be powerful witnesses to Christ through hospitality, encouragement, and support of others.

# data[].attributes.body
