Acts 6:7-10

7The word of God continued to spread, the number of disciples in Jerusalem increased greatly, and a large group of priests became obedient to the faith.

8Now Stephen, full of grace and power, was performing great wonders and miraculous signs among the people.

9But some men from the Synagogue of the Freedmen (as it was called), both Cyrenians and Alexandrians, as well as some from Cilicia and the province of Asia, stood up and argued with Stephen.

10Yet they were not able to resist the wisdom and the Spirit with which he spoke.
