Acts 6:1-4

1NowG1161 1at thisG3778 timeG2250, as the 2disciplesG3101 were 3increasingG4129 in number, a complaintG1112 developedG1096 on the part of the 45HellenisticG1675 Jews againstG4314 the native 6HebrewsG1445, becauseG3754 their 7widowsG5503 were being overlookedG3865 in 8the dailyG2522 servingG1248 of food.

2SoG1161 the twelveG1427 summonedG4341 the 9congregationG4128 of the disciplesG3101 and saidG3004, “It is not desirableG701 for us to neglectG2641 the wordG3056 of GodG2316 in order to serveG1247 tablesG5132.

3InsteadG1161, 10brothersG80 and sisters, selectG1980 from amongG1537 you sevenG2033 menG435 of goodG3140 reputationG3140, 11fullG4134 of the SpiritG4151 and of wisdomG4678, whomG3739 we may putG2525 inG2525 chargeG2525 of thisG3778 taskG5532.

4But we will 12devoteG4342 ourselvesG4342 to prayerG4335 and to the 13ministryG1248 of the wordG3056.”
