AC-6:1 And in those days, when the number of the disciples was
multiplied, there arose a murmuring of the Grecians against the
Hebrews, because their widows were neglected in the daily
ministration.
AC-6:2 Then the twelve called the multitude of the disciples
[unto
them], and said, It is not reason that we should leave the word
of
God, and serve tables.
AC-6:3 Wherefore, brethren, look ye out among you seven men of
honest report, full of the Holy Ghost and wisdom, whom we may
appoint over this business.
AC-6:4 But we will give ourselves continually to prayer, and to
the
ministry of the word.
AC-6:5 And the saying pleased the whole multitude: and they
chose
Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Ghost, and Philip,
and
Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolas a
proselyte of Antioch:
AC-6:6 Whom they set before the apostles: and when they had
prayed,
they laid [their] hands on them.
AC-6:7 And the word of God increased; and the number of the
disciples multiplied in Jerusalem greatly; and a great company of
the priests were obedient to the faith.
AC-6:8 And Stephen, full of faith and power, did great wonders
and
miracles among the people.
AC-6:9 Then there arose certain of the synagogue, which is
called
[the synagogue] of the Libertines, and Cyrenians, and
Alexandrians,
and of them of Cilicia and of Asia, disputing with Stephen.
AC-6:10 And they were not able to resist the wisdom and the
spirit
by which he spake.
AC-6:11 Then they suborned men, which said, We have heard him
speak
blasphemous words against Moses, and [against] God.
AC-6:12 And they stirred up the people, and the elders, and the
scribes, and came upon [him], and caught him, and brought [him]
to
the council,
AC-6:13 And set up false witnesses, which said, This man ceaseth
not to speak blasphemous words against this holy place, and the
law:
AC-6:14 For we have heard him say, that this Jesus of Nazareth
shall destroy this place, and shall change the customs which
Moses
delivered us.
AC-6:15 And all that sat in the council, looking stedfastly on
him,
saw his face as it had been the face of an angel.
