People opposed Stephen, but could not refute his arguments.

Acts 6:8-10

8 God was enabling Stephen to do many things by God’s power. He was doing many amazing miracles among the Jewish people. 9 However, some people opposed Stephen. They were Jews from a group that regularly met together in a Jewish meeting place that was {that people} called the Freedmen’s Meeting Place. Those people were from Cyrene and Alexandria cities and also from Cilicia and Asia provinces. They all began to argue with Stephen. 10 But they were not able ◄to refute what he said/to prove that what he said was wrong►, because God’s Spirit enabled him to speak very wisely.
