Stephen page 3 by ric gustafson
One of the Council members screamed. " Kill him".
A crowd formed. Stephen was forced out of the chamber. The now angry mob dragged the young man through the Dung Gate. Then they entered the Valley of Death. The mob stopped at a grove of desert pine trees.
Standing by the grove was a man named Saul of Tarsus. The Council members dropped their cloaks at Saul's feet. They picked up large stones.
The first large stone hit Stephen. He lifted his eyes to heaven. " Lord Jesus, receive my spirit".
The stones kept hitting the young man. " Lord, do not charge them with this sin".
Stephen died.
The Council members took their cloaks from Saul and left.
The End.
