Acts 7:56

and said, Behold,. see the heavens opened, and the Son of Man standing on the right hand of God.

'BEHOLD,. SEE'-'Not many years before, another prisoner had stood at the bar before the same court, charged with almost the same offences..'and you will see the Son of man seated at the right hand of the Almighty..(Mark 14:62)..Unless the judges were prepared to admit that their former decision was tragically mistaken, they had no logical option but to find Stephen guilty of blasphemy as well.' (Bruce p. 165)

'It was vouchsafed both for his own encouragement in the hour of death, and for the good of friends and foes alike in subsequent days.' (McGarvey p. 133)
