Acts 7:58

and they cast him out of the city, and stoned him: and the witnesses laid down their garments at the feet of. young man named Saul.

'CAST HIM OUT OF THE CITY'-i.e. out of Jerusalem (Leviticus 24:14).

'STONED HIM'-The witnesses were required to cast the first stones (Deuteronomy 13:10; Deuteronomy 17:7). In doing so they laid aside their outer garments.

'AT THE FEET OF. YOUNG MAN NAMED SAUL'-It seems reasonable to assume that Gamaliel, Saul's teacher (Acts 22:3) was present at this trial. 'But, if so, he does not raise his voice against this mob violence.' (Robertson p. 99)

'YOUNG MAN'-'By Jewish modes of reckoning,. young man was anyone between the ages 24 and 40. Some 30 years later he will described himself as aged (Philemon 1:9).

'NAMED SAUL'-'Who that stood there and saw him keeping the clothes of the witnesses would have imagined that he would become the foremost apostle of the faith which he sought to destroy from off the face of the earth?' (P.P. Comm. p. 221)
