John Chrysostom, on Acts 6:15

“And all that sat in the council, looking on him, saw his face as if it had been the face of an angel.”

“But to show that it was not in the nature of such a man to speak such things, and harshly, "Then all," it says, "which were in the council, looking steadfastly upon him, saw his face, as it had been the face of an angel": so mild was he even in countenance. For, in cases where persons were not falsely accused, Scripture mentions nothing of this kind: but as in this case it was all false accusation, with reason does God rectify it by the very look of the man. For the Apostles indeed were not falsely accused, but were forbidden: but this man is falsely accused: and therefore before all else his countenance pleads for him. This abashed even the priest.”
