Now
at this
time
while the disciples
were increasing
in number, a complaint
arose
on the part of the Hellenistic
Jews against
the native Hebrews,
because
their widows
were being overlooked
in the daily
serving
of food.
2
So
the twelve
summoned
the congregation
of the disciples
and said,
"It is not desirable
for us to neglect
the word
of God
in order to serve
tables.
3
"Therefore,
brethren,
select
from among
you seven
men
of good reputation,
full
of the Spirit
and of wisdom,
whom
we may put in charge
of this
task.
4
"But we will devote ourselves
to prayer
and to the ministry
of the word."
5
The statement
found approval
with the whole
congregation;
and they chose
Stephen,
a man
full
of faith
and of the Holy
Spirit,
and Philip,
Prochorus,
Nicanor,
Timon,
Parmenas
and Nicolas,
a proselyte
from Antioch.
6
And these
they brought
before
the apostles;
and after praying,
they laid
their hands
on them.
7
The word
of God
kept on spreading;
and the number
of the disciples
continued to increase
greatly
in Jerusalem,
and a great
many
of the priests
were becoming obedient
to the faith.
8
And Stephen,
full
of grace
and power,
was performing
great
wonders
and signs
among
the people.
9
But some men
from what was called
the Synagogue
of the Freedmen,
including both
Cyrenians
and Alexandrians,
and some
from Cilicia
and Asia,
rose
up and argued
with Stephen.
10
But they were unable
to cope
with the wisdom
and the Spirit
with which
he was speaking.
11
Then
they secretly induced
men
to say,
"We have heard
him speak
blasphemous
words
against
Moses
and
against
God."
12
And they stirred
up the people,
the elders
and the scribes,
and they came
up to him and dragged him away
and brought
him before
the Council.
13
They put forward
false
witnesses
who said,
"This
man
incessantly
speaks
against
this
holy
place
and the Law;
14
for we have heard
him say
that
this
Nazarene,
Jesus,
will destroy
this
place
and alter
the customs
which
Moses
handed down
to us."
15
And fixing their gaze
on him, all
who were sitting
in the Council
saw
his face
like
the face
of an angel.
