Acts 7:60

Verse 60. And he kneeled down. This seems to have been a voluntary kneeling; a placing himself in this position for the purpose of prayer, choosing to die in this attitude. Lord. That is, Lord Jesus. See Barnes "Ac 1:24". Lay not, etc. Forgive them. This passage strikingly resembles the dying prayer of the Lord Jesus, Lu 23:34. Nothing but the Christian religion will enable a man to utter this passage in his dying moments. He fell asleep. This is the usual mode of expressing the death of saints in the Bible.
