“And they made a calf in those days, and offered sacrifice unto the idol, and rejoiced in the works of their own hands.”
'Look,' he said, 'I see heaven open and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God' - Stephen describes his vision in public declaration. 'I see heaven open' (theorō thenous ēnoigmenous, I see the heavens opened) uses the language of theophany. 'The Son of Man standing at the right hand of God' applies the messianic title 'Son of Man' (huios tou anthrōpou) to the risen Jesus, echoing Daniel 7:13. The standing posture is deliberate: Jesus stands to welcome his witness into martyrdom.
