Revised Literal Translation

1AndG1161 inG1722 thoseG3778 daysG3588G2250, when the numberG4129 of the disciplesG3588G3101 was multipliedG4129, there aroseG1096 a murmuringG1112 of the GreciansG3588G1675 againstG4314 the HebrewsG1445, becauseG3754 theirG846 widowsG3588G5503 were neglectedG3865 inG1722 the dailyG2522 ministrationG3588G1248. 2ThenG1161 the twelveG1427 calledG4341 the multitudeG3588G4128 of the disciplesG3588G3101 unto them, andG1161 saidG3004, It isG1510 notG3756 meetG701 thatG2641 weG1473 should leaveG2641 the wordG3588G3056 of GodG3588G2316, and serveG1247 tablesG5132. 3WhereforeG3767, brethrenG80, look ye outG1980 among youG4771 sevenG2033 menG435 ofG1537 honest reportG3140, fullG4134 of theG4151 HolyG40 GhostG4151 andG2532 wisdomG4678, whomG3739 we may appointG2525 overG1909 thisG3778 businessG3588G5532. 4ButG1161 weG1473 will give ourselves continuallyG4342 to prayerG3588G4335, andG2532 to the ministryG3588G1248 of the wordG3588G3056.

5AndG2532 the sayingG3588G3056 pleasedG700 the wholeG3956 multitudeG3588G4128: andG2532 they choseG1586 StephenG4736, a manG435 fullG4134 of faithG4102 andG2532 of theG4151 HolyG40 GhostG4151, andG2532 PhilipG5376, andG2532 ProchorusG4402, andG2532 NicanorG3527, andG2532 TimonG5096, andG2532 ParmenasG3937, andG2532 NicolasG3532 a proselyteG4339 of AntiochG491: 6WhomG3739 they setG2476 beforeG1799 the apostlesG3588G652: andG2532 when they had prayedG4336, they laidG2007 their handsG3588G5495 on themG846. 7AndG2532 the wordG3588G3056 of GodG3588G2316 increasedG837; andG2532 the numberG3588G706 of the disciplesG3588G3101 multipliedG4129 inG1722 JerusalemG2419 greatlyG4970; andG5037 aG3793 greatG4183 companyG3793 of the priestsG3588G2409 were obedientG5219 to the faithG3588G4102. 8AndG1161 StephenG4736, fullG4134 of faithG4102 andG2532 powerG1411, didG4160 greatG3173 wondersG5059 andG2532 miraclesG4592 amongG1722 the peopleG3588G2992.

9ThenG1161 there aroseG450 certainG5100 ofG1537 the synagogueG3588G4864, whichG3588 is calledG3004 the synagogue of the LibertinesG3032, andG2532 CyreniansG2956, andG2532 AlexandriansG221, andG2532 ofG575 themG3588 of CiliciaG2791 andG2532 of AsiaG773, disputingG4802 with StephenG3588G4736. 10AndG2532 they wereG2480 notG3756 ableG2480 to resistG436 the wisdomG3588G4678 andG2532 the spiritG3588G4151 by whichG3739 he spakeG2980. 11ThenG5119 they subornedG5260 menG435, which saidG3004, We have heardG191 himG846 speakG2980 blasphemousG989 wordsG4487 againstG1519 MosesG3475, andG2532 against GodG3588G2316. 12AndG5037 they stirred upG4787 the peopleG3588G2992, andG2532 the eldersG4245, andG2532 the scribesG3588G1122, andG2532 came uponG2186 him, andG2532 caughtG4884 himG846, andG2532 broughtG71 him toG1519 the councilG3588G4892, 13AndG5037 set upG2476 falseG5571 witnessesG3144, which saidG3004, ThisG3778 manG3588G444 ceasethG3973 notG3756 to speakG2980 blasphemousG989 wordsG4487 againstG2596 thisG3778 holyG40 placeG3588G5117, andG2532 the lawG3588G3551: 14ForG1063 we have heardG191 himG846 sayG3004, thatG3754 thisG3778 JesusG2424 of NazarethG3588G3480 shall destroyG2647 thisG3778 placeG3588G5117, andG2532 shall changeG236 the customsG3588G1485 whichG3739 MosesG3475 deliveredG3860 usG1473. 15AndG2532 allG537 that satG2516 inG1722 the councilG3588G4892, looking stedfastlyG816 onG1519 himG846, sawG3708 hisG846 faceG3588G4383 as it had beenG5616 the faceG4383 of an angelG32.
