Contextual Overview
8 Now Stephen full of grace and power, did great wonders and miracles among the people. 9 when some out of the several synagogues, belonging to the freed men, to the Cyrenians, Alexandrians, and to those of Cilicia, and of Asia, came to dispute with Stephen. 10 but as they were not able to withstand the force of that sublime knowledge which appeared in his discourse, 11 they suborned men, who said, we have heard him speak irreverently of Moses, and of God. 12 and they stirred up the people, the senators, and the doctors of law, who came and seiz'd him, and brought him to the council, 13 where they produc'd false witnesses, who said, this man is continually inveighing against the holy place, and against the law. 14 for we have heard him say, that Jesus the Nazarene shall destroy this place, and change the customs which Moses delivered us. 15 and all that sat in the council, looking stedfastly on him, saw an air of majesty in his aspect.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
For we have heard him say,.... The Ethiopic version adds, "besides"; but rather these words are a reason, giving evidence to, and supporting the general charge:
that this Jesus of Nazareth; Stephen spoke of, and whom they so called by way of contempt:
shall destroy this place; meaning the temple, as the Ethiopic version renders it; and is the same charge, the false witnesses at Christ's examination brought against him:
and shall change the customs which Moses delivered us; that is, the rites, ceremonies, institutions, and appointments of the Mosaic dispensation; and yet this is no other, than what the Jews themselves say will be done, in the times of the Messiah; for they assert p, that
"awbl dytel, "in time to come" (i.e. in the days of the Messiah) all sacrifices shall cease, but the sacrifice of thanksgiving.''
p Vajikra Rabba, sect. 9. fol. 153. 1. & sect. 27. fol. 168. 4.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Shall change - Shall abolish them, or shall introduce others in their place.
The customs - The ceremonial rites and observances of sacrifices, festivals, etc., appointed by Moses.
