Stephen's life on this earth was over. The high-ranking religious leaders had decided that he was too great a threat to their religious control. So, they took matters into their own hands and personally stoned him to death. Despite the violent hostility of the Sanhedrin Council, Stephen was at peace before he died. Indeed, he did not seem at all worried throughout the whole of his trial; his face was serene (Acts 6:15). Why should he be anxious: he knew that he was telling the truth about Jesus and so Stephen was merely God's messenger.
