Acts 6:1-6
WEB · Bible Passage
Bible Text
[1] Now in those days, when the number of the disciples was multiplying, a complaint arose from the Grecian Jews against the Hebrews because their widows were neglected in the daily service. [2] The twelve summoned the multitude of the disciples and said, "It is not appropriate for us to forsake the word of God and serve tables. [3] Therefore select from among you, brothers, seven men of good report, full of the Holy Spirit and of wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business. [4] But we will continue steadfastly in prayer and in the ministry of the word." [5] These words pleased the whole multitude. They chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit, Philip, Prochorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and Nicolaus, a proselyte of Antioch; [6] whom they set before the apostles. When they had prayed, they laid their hands on them.
