-or-
gazed
-or-
looked hard/straight

6:15b

his face was like the face of an angel: The Greek does not say how Stephen’s face was like an angel’s face. And the context does not imply how either. You should translate without saying how Stephen’s face was like an angel’s face.

angel: This word refers to a spirit being who serves God. See how you translated it in 5:19.
