Stephen gave
the most anointed
monologue,
which covered
strategic points
in Israel’s history
accusing them
of rebellion
and unbelief.
His extended
speech culminated
in a strong allegation.
His accusers
were stiff
neck men,
who were
uncircumcised
in heart – and
always resisted
the Holy Spirit of God.
(Reference to the murder
of St. Stephen in the Acts
of the Apostles
in the New Testament)
