Was doing some reading on Acts 6. Was reading in Witherington's commentary and he indicates these parallels between the killing of Jesus and the
killing of Stephen:[1]
- The trial before the Sanhedrin and the High Priest (Mark 14:53 / Acts 6:12, 7:1).
- False Witnesses (Mark 14:56-57; Matt. 26:60-61 / Acts 6:13).
- Testimony of the destruction of the
- The temple “made with hands” (Mark 15:58 / Acts 7:48).
- The Son of Man saying (Mark 24:62 / Acts 7:56).
- Blasphemy charged (Mark 14:64, Matt. 26:63 / Acts 6:11).
- The question of the High Priest Caiaphas (Mark 14:61; Matt. 26:63 / Acts 7:1).
- Committal of spirit (Luke 23:46 / Acts 7:59).

For you to be an israeli lawyer, you need to be licensed. Licensing is a four step process that includes: sitting for a Hebrew proficiency exam, law of Israel exams, Israel bar exams, and completing a one year legal internship. Although, these are the processes involved when you are an Israeli local, there are exemptions. For example when you are a foreigner and you have over two years of foreign experience as a lawyer, you are allowed to go ahead with your one year internship after passing the Hebrew proficiency exam. If you are a foreigner and you want to practice law in Israeli, you need to be proficient in Hebrew as it’s the main language of communication.
