Acts 7:54

52 Which of the prophets have not your fathers persecuted? and they have slain them which shewed before of the coming of the Just One; of whom ye have been now the betrayers and murderers:

56 And said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God.
