SCRIPTURE

"But they cried out with a loud voice, and stopped their ears, and rushed upon him with one accord;" — Acts 7:57 (ASV)

Then they cried out. That is, probably, the people, not the members of the council. It is evident he was put to death in a popular tumult. They had charged him with blasphemy; and they regarded what he had now said as full proof of it.

And stopped their ears. That they might hear no more blasphemy.

With one accord. In a tumult; unitedly.
