Stephen's Final Prayer

A martyr entrusts himself to Jesus.

As Stephen is stoned, he prays: 'Lord Jesus, receive my spirit,' and then prays forgiveness for his killers.

Scripture

Acts 7:59-60

59 They stoned Stephen as he called out, saying, "Lord Jesus, receive my spirit!"

60 He kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice, "Lord, don't hold this sin against them!" When he had said this, he fell asleep.
