Concept:The question tests knowledge of the biblical account of Stephen in Acts 6 and 7.
Explanation:Stephen was chosen as a deacon and was described as being full of the Holy Spirit, so option C is correct.
He is widely recognised as the first Christian martyr because he was killed for preaching about Jesus, so option A is correct.
While he was being stoned, Stephen prayed for his killers, saying, "Lord, do not hold this sin against them", so option D is correct.
However, Stephen was not stoned for telling a lie.
He was stoned for boldly speaking the truth about Jesus Christ before the Jewish council.
Therefore, the statement made in option B is not true about Stephen.
Answer:B. He was stoned for telling a lie.
