The first Christian stoned to death was Stephen, who is considered the first Christian martyr. His execution is described in the New Testament book of Acts (Acts 7:54-60), where he was accused of blasphemy and brought before the Sanhedrin. After delivering a powerful speech about the history of Israel and the rejection of Jesus, he was dragged out of the city and stoned by the crowd. Stephen is venerated as a saint in many Christian traditions.
