ACTS 6-7

Acts 6:15. Stephen’s transfiguration
Elder Bruce R. McConkie of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles explained why Stephen’s face appeared like “the face of an angel” (Acts 6:15):
“Stephen was transfigured before them, visible witness thus being given that God was with him. In a lesser degree, it was with Stephen as it had been with Moses, the skin of whose face [shone] visibly after he had communed with the Lord for forty days on the mountain. (Ex. 34:29–35.)” (Doctrinal New Testament Commentary, 3 vols. [1965–73], 2:67).
“By opposing Stephen and his testimony, the Jewish leaders were also opposing God, who had given an obvious sign showing His approval of Stephen” (New Testament Student Manual [Church Educational System manual, 2014], 289).
