Let's not forget the wordings from "The Census" at the time of Augustus--re: legal and maybe fake ID for those "from" Bethlehem.
****************
Here are some wordings from Acts 6 that can help transform words into wordings that are needed at various other trials.
Key wordings are bolded.
Stephen Is Arrested
8 Stephen was a man filled with God’s favor and power. He did amazing things and performed miracles.
9 One day some men from the cities of Cyrene and Alexandria and the provinces of Cilicia and Asia started an argument with Stephen. They belonged to a synagogue called Freedmen’s Synagogue.
10 They couldn’t argue with Stephen because he spoke with the wisdom that the Spirit had given him.
11 Then they bribed some men to lie. These men said, “We heard him slander Moses and God.”
12 The liars stirred up trouble among the people, the leaders, and the scribes. So they went to Stephen, took him by force, and brought him in front of the Jewish council. 13 Some witnesses stood up and lied about Stephen. They said, “This man never stops saying bad things about the holy place and Moses’ Teachings.
14 We heard him say that Jesus from Nazareth will destroy the temple and change the customs that Moses gave us.”
15 Everyone who sat in the council stared at him and saw that his face looked like an angel’s face.
