Best Answer

The stoning of Stephen is mentioned only in Acts of the Apostles, which does not mention his age. The Jewish historian, Josephus does not mention the stoning of Stephen at all, although he does tell of the very similar story of James being stoned.

Raymond E. Brown (An Introduction to the New Testament) says that we can never verify the existence and martyrdom of Stephen. So we can never establish how old Stephen was when he was killed.

Stephen age at his time of death is not mention in The Bible. However, he was old enough to be selected and appointed by the apostles for special services. (Acts 6:1-6)
