Who was responsible for Stephen's stoning, and what was Saul doing at that time?
Saul was at the height of his persecution of Jewish believers and brought about the stoning of Stephen. At that time he was actively persecuting those Jewish believers and was responsible for Stephen's death, which occurred during the seven-year interval after Pentecost, around 36 A.D., before Saul's Damascus road conversion.
Les explains that there was a seven-year interval between Pentecost and the stoning of Stephen, placing it in 36 A.D. At that time Saul was at the height of persecuting those Jewish believers and had brought about Stephen's stoning. The next year came Saul's conversion on the road to Damascus. Les points this out to show that time was moving on throughout the book of Acts, not all happening in just a year or so.
