This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Act 7:58. Ἔξω τῆς πόλεως, out of the city) They regard Stephen as having been injurious to the city, and therefore unworthy to die in it.-ἀπέθεντο, they laid down) in order to be the less encumbered.-νεανίου, of a young man) Saul already at that time seems to have held some degree of dignity among them. It was, however, so ordered by Providence, that he did not raise his hand against the martyr: ch. Act 26:10.-Σαύλου Saul) He was perhaps of the progeny of King Saul.-Valla. At least they were of the same tribe.
