Acts 6:13

and set up false witnesses, who said, This man ceaseth not to speak words against this holy place, and the law:

'SET UP FALSE WITNESSES'-'There they had false witnesses stand up and lie' (Beck). One writer notes, 'The similarity of Stephen's trial to that of our Lord is striking. The same set purpose to silence. true-speaking tongue by death; the same base employment of false witnesses; the same wresting of good works into criminal acts; the same meekness and patience unto death...' (P.P. Comm. p. 194)

'CEASETH NOT'-'is never done talking against' (Mof); 'is always attacking the Temple and the Law' (Rieu).

'THIS HOLY PLACE'-i.e. the Temple.

'AND THE LAW'-The Law of Moses.. specific example of this charge is given in the next verse.
