Agnostic Theist
31 Hence Pilate said to them: Take him yourselves and judge him according to YOUR law. The Jews said to him: It is not lawful for us to kill anyone.
So then they didn't kill Stephen and Acts is jus lying about that epsidode?
The Mishna, as well as the Old Testament both show that it was lawful to maintain a sort of capital punishment.
