11So they persuaded some men to lie about Stephen, saying, “We heard him blaspheme Moses, and even God.”
12This roused the people, the elders, and the teachers of religious law. So they arrested Stephen and brought him before the high council.
13The lying witnesses said, “This man is always speaking against the holy Temple and against the law of Moses.
14We have heard him say that this Jesus of Nazareth will destroy the Temple and change the customs Moses handed down to us.”
