Main article

Stephen was a Christian whose story is told in the Book of Acts. He was stoned to death for his beliefs, described in Acts 7. The apostle Paul (Saul) was present at Stephen's death, giving approval to it. Following his death, the Jews of the early church became dispersed throughout Judea, Samaria and their Diaspora homelands, taking the gospel with them.

Quotes

Oscar Cullmann

Apart from Paul, Stephen was perhaps the most significant man in the early church. It seems he grasped what was new in Jesus’ thought better than almost anyone else.
