1. Acts 6:12 (ESV)
  2. Exposition

Was Stephen seized and brought before the council all in one day?

Acts 6:12 (ESV)

12 And they stirred up the people and the elders and the scribes, and they came upon him and seized him and brought him before the council,

Though it seems as if everything happened in one day, we should appreciate that it would have taken some time to call a council (Sanhedrin) and gather false witnesses.1
