Acts 6:1-7

1But in those daysG2250, the disciplesG3101 multiplyingG4129 in number, there aroseG1096 a murmuring of the Hellenists against the HebrewsG1445 because their widowsG5503 were overlooked in the daily ministration.

2And the twelveG1427, having called the multitudeG4128 of the disciplesG3101 to [them], saidG3004, It isG1510 not right that we, leavingG2641 the wordG3056 of 1GodG2316, should serveG1247 tablesG5132.

3Look out therefore, brethren, from among yourselvesG4771 sevenG2033 menG435, well reported of, fullG4134 of [the] [Holy] SpiritG4151 and wisdomG4678, whom we will establish over this business:

4but we will give ourselves up to prayerG4335 and the ministryG1248 of the wordG3056.

5And the sayingG3056 pleasedG700 the whole multitudeG4128: and they chose StephenG4736, a manG435 fullG4134 of faithG4102 and [the] HolyG40 SpiritG4151, and PhilipG5376, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolas, a proselyte of Antioch,

6whom they setG2476 before the apostlesG652; and, having prayedG4336, they laidG2007 their handsG5495 on them.

7And the wordG3056 of 2GodG2316 increasedG837; and the numberG706 of the disciplesG3101 in JerusalemG2419 was very greatly multipliedG4129, and a greatG4183 crowdG3793 of the priestsG2409 obeyedG5219 the faithG4102.
