I see . . . the Son of man standing, etc.--This is the only time that our Lord is by human lips called THE SON OF MAN after His ascension (Revelation 1:13; Revelation 14:14 are not instances). And why here? Stephen, full of the Holy Ghost, speaking now not of himself at all (Acts 7:55), but entirely by the Spirit, is led to repeat the very words in which Jesus Himself, before this same council, had foretold His glorification (Matthew 26:64), assuring them that that exaltation of the SON OF MAN which they should hereafter witness to their dismay, was already begun and actual [ALFORD].
When they heard these things they were cut to the heart, etc.--If they could have answered him, how different would have been their temper of mind!
