  • Acts 6:1-6 : 1 During these days, as the disciples were increasing in number, there was a complaint by the Greek-speaking Jews against the Hebrew-speaking Jews, because their widows were being overlooked in the daily distribution of food. 2 So the Twelve summoned all the disciples together and said, 'It would not be right for us to neglect the word of God in order to serve tables.' 3 Therefore, brothers, select from among you seven men of good reputation, full of the Holy Spirit and wisdom, whom we can appoint to this responsibility. 4 But we will devote ourselves to prayer and to the ministry of the word. 5 This proposal pleased the whole group. They chose Stephen, a man full of faith and the Holy Spirit, and Philip, Prochorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and Nicolas, a convert from Antioch. 6 They presented these men to the apostles, who prayed and laid their hands on them.
