Stephen did not need to defend himself at his trial. The Holy Spirit gave Him the words to proclaim that God always keeps His Word, and is still doing so through Jesus (Luke 12:11). The Sanhedrin court claimed to believe in God's promises, so Stephen reminded them of the way in which God fulfilled His promise in their national history - preparing them to hear that Jesus was God's promised 'Righteous One', even though they had rejected Him (Acts 7:52-53). It was their opportunity to repent and choose to follow Jesus.
