Acts 7:58

When ¹  they had driven him out of the city, they began to stone him, ²  and the witnesses laid their cloaks ³  at the feet of a young man named Saul.

Le 24:14-16; Nu 15:35; De 13:9,10; De 17:7; 1Ki 21:13; Lu 4:29; Joh 10:23-26; Ac 6:11; Ac 6:13; Ac 8:1; Ac 9:1-19; Ac 22:4,20; Heb 13:12,13

¹ tn Grk “And when.” Because of the length of the Greek sentence and the tendency of contemporary English style to use shorter sentences, καί (kai) has not been translated here; a new sentence is begun instead.

² sn They began to stone him. The irony of the scene is that the people do exactly what the speech complains about in v. 52.

³ tn Or “outer garments.”

sn Laid their cloaks. The outer garment, or cloak, was taken off and laid aside to leave the arms free (in this case for throwing stones).
