Episode 257: If There Was No Saint Stephen, Would there Be A St Paul?

Acts 7:57 Then they cried out with a loud voice, and stopped their ears, and ran upon him with one accord, 58 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. 59 And they stoned Stephen, calling upon God, and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit. 60 And he kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. And when he had said this, he fell asleep.

So the killing of Stephen brought forth a man later named Paul who wrote a large part of our New Testament Bible. But it took the killing of Saint Stephen first. We go into this History here.
