Acts 7:60
Kneeled down. Either voluntarily, or brought to his knees by the
cruel blows. The point is that in his sufferings, like his Master, he
prayed for his enemies. Saul, no doubt, noted this, and it had its
effect.
He fell asleep. To wake again at his Savior's voice. The death
of Stephen was a murder, instead of an execution, because (1) no vote
of the Sanhedrin was taken, and (2) the consent of the Roman governor,
requisite to capital punishment, was not obtained.
See PNT "Joh 18:32".
