LISTEN UP, RECRUITS! Acts 7 is all about a guy named Stephen. Stephen was the first Christian martyr and his story is told here. Stephen was brought before the Jewish leaders and accused of blasphemy. He defended himself by delivering a long speech about the history of the Jews. He told them about God’s faithfulness to the Israelites and how they rebelled against God and His prophets. Stephen ended his speech by accusing the leaders of rejecting Jesus and killing Him. The leaders were so angry, they dragged him outside and stoned him to death. The end. That's it for Acts 7. Move it, recruits!
