According to the New Testament in the Book of Acts (Acts 7:58), Saul of Tarsus, who later became the Apostle Paul, held the coats of those who stoned Stephen, the first Christian martyr. This act symbolized his approval of the execution and his active participation in the persecution of early Christians. Saul's later conversion to Christianity is a significant turning point in the narrative of the early church.
