Contextual Overview

54 When they hearde these thynges, their heartes claue a sunder, and they gnasshed on hym with their teeth. 55 But he being full of the holy ghost, loked vp stedfastly into heauen, and sawe the glory of God, and Iesus standyng on the ryght hande of God, 56 And sayde: Beholde, I see the heauens open, & the sonne of man standyng on the ryght hande of God. 57 Then they gaue a shoute with a loude voyce, and stopped their eares, and ran vpon hym all at once, 58 And cast hym out of the citie, and stoned him. And ye witnesses layde downe their clothes at a young mans feete, whose name was Saul. 59 And they stoned Steuen, callyng on, and saying: Lorde Iesu receaue my spirite. 60 And he kneeled downe, and cryed with a loude voyce: Lorde lay not this sinne to their charge. And when he had thus spoken, he fell a sleepe.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And said, behold, I see the heavens opened,.... As they were at the baptism of Christ, :-:

and the son of man standing at the right hand of God; he calls Jesus "the son of man"; a name by which he often called himself in his state of humiliation; and that though he was now glorified, it being the name of the Messiah in Psalms 80:17 as was well known to the Jews; and this Stephen said to show that God was on his side, and to let them know what honour was done him, what divine supports and comforts he had, and that he was an eyewitness of Jesus, and of his being alive, and in glory.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

I see the heavens opened - A figurative expression, denoting that he was permitted to see “into” heaven, or to see what was there, as if the firmament was divided, and the eye was permitted to penetrate the eternal world. Compare Ezekiel 1:1.
