The Cloaks at Saul's Feet

By: Mike Mazzalongo     Posted: Sat. Apr 4th
Discussion Questions
  1. Why does Luke highlight Saul's presence rather than the identity of the actual witnesses who cast the stones?
  2. How does this moment at Stephen's death prepare us for Saul's later conversion and ministry?
  3. What lessons can modern Christians learn from the way Luke emphasizes responsibility and complicity in Stephen's martyrdom?
