Acts 6:5-7

5The suggestion pleased the whole group. So they chose Stephen, who was a man full of faith and the Holy Spirit, and they chose Philip, Prochorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and Nicolaus, who had converted to Judaism in the city of Antioch.

6The disciples had these men stand in front of the apostles, who prayed and placed their hands on these seven men.

7God’s word continued to spread, and the number of disciples in Jerusalem grew very large. A large number of priests accepted the faith.
