Q: "Steven"的由來是由聖經上來的嗎?還是他的由來是怎麼樣的呢?
| A: The original spelling of the name is “Stephen”. |
| According to Acts 6 (使徒行傳:第六章) of the New Testament (新約聖經), Stephen was a man full of faith and the Holy Spirit. He did great wonders and signs among the people. (行了許多神蹟.) Some disputed with him because they were jealous of his wisdom and grace from God. He was brought to and judged before the council. At court, people were offended by his speech because he accused them of hypocrisy. They stoned him to death. Stephen is the first of the martyrs who courageously defend the truth and faith they believe after Jesus’ death . He is the saint greatly respected in western civilization. When “Stephen” (or “Steven”) is mentioned, people think of him with respect as the wise, the just, and the courageous. Stephen is a decent name for a decent man. |
