Connecting Statement:
The part of the story about Stephen, which began in Acts 6:8, continues. Stephen begins his response to the high priest and the council by talking about things that happened in Israel's history. Most of this history comes from Moses' writings.
General Information:
The word "our" includes both Steven, the Jewish council to whom he spoke, and the entire audience. The word "your" is singular refers to Abraham. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-you)
Brothers and fathers, listen to me
Stephen was being very respectful to the council in greeting them as extended family.
