Commentaries and Concordances

GSB:

6:10 {8} And they were not able to resist the wisdom and the spirit by which he spake.
(8) False teachers, because they will not be overcome, flee from disputations and resort to manifest and open slandering and false accusations.

PNT:

6:10 They were not able to resist. They attempted to argue, but were silenced.

MHC:

6:8-15 When they could not answer Stephen's arguments as a disputant, they prosecuted him as a criminal, and brought false witnesses against him. And it is next to a miracle of providence, that no greater number of religious persons have been murdered in the world, by the way of perjury and pretence of law, when so many thousands hate them, who make no conscience of false oaths. Wisdom and holiness make a man's face to shine, yet will not secure men from being treated badly. What shall we say of man, a rational being, yet attempting to uphold a religious system by false witness and murder! And this has been done in numberless instances. But the blame rests not so much upon the understanding, as upon the heart of a fallen creature, which is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked. Yet the servant of the Lord, possessing a clear conscience, cheerful hope, and Divine consolations, may smile in the midst of danger and death.
