Acts 6

6:1 And in those dayes when the number of the Disciples was multiplied, there arose a murmuring of the Grecians against the Hebrewes, because their widowes were neglected in the daily ministration. 6:2 Then the twelue called the multitude of the disciples vnto them, and said, It is not reason that we should leaue the word of God, and serue tables. 6:3 Wherefore brethren, looke ye out among you seuen men of honest report, full of the holy Ghost, and wisedome, whom we may appoint ouer this businesse. 6:4 But we will giue our selues continually to prayer, and to the ministerie of the word. 6:5 And the saying pleased the whole multitude: and they chose Steuen, a man full of faith and of the holy Ghost, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Permenas, and Nicolas a proselyte of Antioch. 6:6 Whom they set before the Apostles: and when they had praied, they layd their hands on them. 6:7 And the word of God encreased, and the number of the Disciples multiplied in Hierusalem greatly, and a great company of the Priests were obedient to the faith. 6:8 And Steuen full of faith and power, did great wonders and miracles among the people. 6:9 Then there arose certaine 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 Steuen. 6:10 And they were not able to resist the wisedome and the spirit by which he spake. 6:11 Then they suborned men which said, We haue heard him speake blasphemous words against Moses, and against God. 6:12 And they stirred vp the people, and the Elders, and the Scribes, and came vpon him, and caught him, and brought him to the Councell, 6:13 And set vp false witnesses, which said, This man ceaseth not to speake blasphemous words against this holy place, and the Law. 6:14 For we haue heard him say, that this Iesus of Nazareth shall destroy this place, & shall change the Customes which Moses deliuered vs. 6:15 And all that sate in the Councell, looking stedfastly on him, saw his face as it had bene the face of an Angel.
