The immediate cause of the stoning of Stephen was his
condemnation of the Jews
declaration of Jesus as the Righteous One
condemnation of the Jewish rite of circumcision
claiming to see Jesus at the right hand of God

Explanation

'Now when they heard these things they were enraged, and they ground their teeth against him. But he, full of the Holy Spirit, gazed into heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God; and he said, “Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing at the right hand of God.” But they cried out with a loud voice and stopped their ears and rushed together upon him. Then they cast him out of the city and stoned him..."  (Acts 7:54-58)
