The Stoning of Stephen - Biblical Illustration and Historical Context #272543 (License: Personal Use)

This cartoon-style illustration portrays the stoning of Stephen, as described in Acts 7:54-60, where he is condemned and executed by a mob for blasphemy. The central figure lies wounded with blood on the ground, while surrounding figures display rage, sorrow, or shock; one man (Saul, later Paul) watches intently, holding garments. The earthy palette and exaggerated expressions emphasize the emotional gravity and theological turning point of early Christianity.

Used on religious education sites, Sunday school resources, or Bible study pages to visually convey the story of Stephen’s martyrdom. Matches user intent seeking visual aids for teaching, sermon preparation, or personal reflection on persecution and faithfulness.
