In Mark 14 Jesus is accused of saying he will destroy the Temple and build up anopther in three days. This is not an outright lie, simply a distortion or misunderstanding of what Jesus did say.
Essentially the best lie is a partial truth.
In Acts 6 Stephen is accused of saying Jesus will destroy the Second Temple (which was done through the Roman Empire) and that Jesus will alter the customs handed down from Moses (which he did in Acts 10 and Mark 7:19).
Essentially the Second Temple was to be destroyed and the customs (laws?) of Moses abrogated. So where is the lying? Is it the initial accusation of blasphemy or the saying this was Stephen's only sermon?
