Proselyte chosen as deacon

Named in 1 chapter

Who is this

Nicolaus was one of the seven men chosen by the early church in Jerusalem to assist the apostles in the daily distribution of food to the widows (Acts 6:5). He was a proselyte from Antioch, meaning he was a Gentile convert to Judaism before becoming a follower of Christ. Nicolaus, along with the other six chosen men, was known to be full of the Spirit and wisdom. His selection as a deacon highlights the inclusive nature of the early church.
