Acts 6:1-10

[1] And  in  days,  of the disciples  was multiplied,  there arose  a murmuring  of the Grecians  against  the Hebrews,  because  their  widows  were neglected  in  the daily  ministration.  [2] Then  the twelve  called  the multitude  of the disciples  unto them, and said,  not  reason  should leave  the word  of God,  and serve  tables.  [3] brethren,  look ye out  among  seven  men  of honest report,  full  Ghost  and  wisdom,  whom  we may appoint  over  business.  [4] But  will give ourselves continually  to prayer,  and  to the ministry  of the word.  [5] And  the saying  pleased  the whole  multitude:  and  they chose  Stephen,  a man  full  of faith  and  of the Holy  Ghost,  and  Philip,  and  Prochorus,  and  Nicanor,  and  Timon,  and  Parmenas,  and  Nicolas  a proselyte  of Antioch:  [6] Whom  they set  before  the apostles:  and  when they had prayed,  their hands  on  them.  [7] And  the word  of God  increased;  and  the number  of the disciples  multiplied  in  Jerusalem  greatly;  and  a great  company  of the priests  were obedient  to the faith.  [8] And  Stephen,  full  and  power,  did  great  wonders  and  miracles  among  the people.  [9] Then  there arose  certain  of  the synagogue,  which  is called  the synagogue of the Libertines,  and  Cyrenians,  and  Alexandrians,  and  of them of  Cilicia  and  of Asia,  disputing  with Stephen.  [10] And  not  able  to resist  the wisdom  and  the spirit  by which  he spake.
