📚 Contexto Histórico
In the early days of the Christian church, Stephen, a devout follower of Jesus and one of the first deacons, was brought before the Jewish Sanhedrin and accused of blasphemy for proclaiming Jesus as the Messiah. He delivered a powerful speech recounting Israel's history and condemning his accusers for rejecting God's prophets, which led to their outrage and decision to stone him. This event marks the first recorded martyrdom in the early church, highlighting the intense persecution faced by believers in a hostile Jewish and Roman environment.
