DAY 6
AC-5:40 And to him they agreed: and when they had called the
apostles, and beaten [them], they commanded that they should not
speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go.
AC-5:41 And they departed from the presence of the council,
rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for his
name.
AC-5:42 And daily in the temple, and in every house, they ceased
not to teach and preach Jesus Christ.
*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.
*AC-7:1 Then said the high priest, Are these things so?
AC-7:2 And he said, Men, brethren, and fathers, hearken; The
God of
glory appeared unto our father Abraham, when he was in
Mesopotamia,
before he dwelt in Charran,
AC-7:3 And said unto him, Get thee out of thy country, and from
thy
kindred, and come into the land which I shall show thee.
AC-7:4 Then came he out of the land of the Chaldaeans, and
dwelt in
Charran: and from thence, when his father was dead, he removed
him
into this land, wherein ye now dwell.
AC-7:5 And he gave him none inheritance in it, no, not [so much
as]
to set his foot on: yet he promised that he would give it to him
for
a possession, and to his seed after him, when [as yet] he had no
child.
AC-7:6 And God spake on this wise, That his seed should sojourn
in
a strange land; and that they should bring them into bondage, and
entreat [them] evil four hundred years.
AC-7:7 And the nation to whom they shall be in bondage will I
judge, said God: and after that shall they come forth, and serve
me
in this place.
AC-7:8 And he gave him the covenant of circumcision: and so
[Abraham] begat Isaac, and circumcised him the eighth day; and
Isaac
[begat] Jacob; and Jacob [begat] the twelve patriarchs.
AC-7:9 And the patriarchs, moved with envy, sold Joseph into
Egypt:
but God was with him,
AC-7:10 And delivered him out of all his afflictions, and gave
him
favour and wisdom in the sight of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and he
made
him governor over Egypt and all his house.
AC-7:11 Now there came a dearth over all the land of Egypt and
Chanaan, and great affliction: and our fathers found no
sustenance.
AC-7:12 But when Jacob heard that there was corn in Egypt, he
sent
out our fathers first.
AC-7:13 And at the second [time] Joseph was made known to his
brethren; and Joseph's kindred was made known unto Pharaoh.
AC-7:14 Then sent Joseph, and called his father Jacob to [him],
and
all his kindred, threescore and fifteen souls.
AC-7:15 So Jacob went down into Egypt, and died, he, and our
fathers,
AC-7:16 And were carried over into Sychem, and laid in the
sepulchre that Abraham bought for a sum of money of the sons of
Emmor [the father] of Sychem.
