Acts 6:2-6

2So the Twelve called together the whole group of the disciples and said, “It is not right for us to neglect the word of God in order to serve tables.

3So, brothers, select from among you seven reputable men, full of the Spirit and wisdom, whom we may put in charge of this duty.

4But we will devote ourselves to prayer and to the service of the Word.”

5The statement pleased the whole group; and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and the Ruach ha-Kodesh, and Philip, Prochorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and Nicolas, a proselyte from Antioch.

6They placed these men before the emissaries; and after praying, they laid hands on them.
