ACTS 22:20 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And when the blood of thy martyr Stephen was shed, I also was standing by, and consenting unto his death, and kept the raiment of them that slew him.”
'And when the blood of Your witness Stephen was being shed, I also was standing by approving, and watching over the coats of those who were slaying him' — Paul explicitly owns his complicity in Stephen's martyrdom; he was present at the death of the first Christian martyr. The mention of Stephen's blood foreshadows Paul's own blood-shedding.
