Acts 6:1-4

1But as the believers rapidly multiplied, there were rumblings of discontent. The Greek-speaking believers complained about the Hebrew-speaking believers, saying that their widows were being discriminated against in the daily distribution of food.

2So the Twelve called a meeting of all the believers. They said, “We apostles should spend our time teaching the word of God, not running a food program.

3And so, brothers, select seven men who are well respected and are full of the Spirit and wisdom. We will give them this responsibility.

4Then we apostles can spend our time in prayer and teaching the word.”
