Original text and translations

Latin text

Cum autem esset Stephanus plenus Spiritu Sancto,
intendens in coelum vidit gloriam Dei et ait:
Ecce video coelos apertos et Filium hominis stantem a dextris virtutis Dei.

Positis autem genibus clamavit voce magna dicens:
Domine, ne statuas illis hoc peccatum.
Et cum hoc dixisset, obdormivit in Domino.
