Acts 6




ylt@Acts:6:1 @And in these days, the disciples multiplying, there came a murmuring of the Hellenists at the Hebrews, because their widows were being overlooked in the daily ministration,

ylt@Acts:6:2 @and the twelve, having called near the multitude of the disciples, said, 'It is not pleasing that we, having left the word of God, do minister at tables;

ylt@Acts:6:3 @look out, therefore, brethren, seven men of you who are well testified of, full of the Holy Spirit and wisdom, whom we may set over this necessity,

ylt@Acts:6:4 @and we to prayer, and to the ministration of the word, will give ourselves continually.'

ylt@Acts:6:5 @And the thing was pleasing before all the multitude, and they did choose Stephen, a man full of faith and the Holy Spirit, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolaus, a proselyte of Antioch,

ylt@Acts:6:6 @whom they did set before the apostles, and they, having prayed, laid on them [their] hands.

ylt@Acts:6:7 @And the word of God did increase, and the number of the disciples did multiply in Jerusalem exceedingly; a great multitude also of the priests were obedient to the faith.

ylt@Acts:6:8 @And Stephen, full of faith and power, was doing great wonders and signs among the people,

ylt@Acts:6:9 @and there arose certain of those of the synagogue, called of the Libertines, and Cyrenians, and Alexandrians, and of those from Cilicia, and Asia, disputing with Stephen,

ylt@Acts:6:10 @and they were not able to resist the wisdom and the spirit with which he was speaking;

ylt@Acts:6:11 @then they suborned men, saying -- 'We have heard him speaking evil sayings in regard to Moses and God.'

ylt@Acts:6:12 @They did stir up also the people, and the elders, and the scribes, and having come upon [him], they caught him, and brought [him] to the sanhedrim;

ylt@Acts:6:13 @they set up also false witnesses, saying, 'This one doth not cease to speak evil sayings against this holy place and the law,

ylt@Acts:6:14 @for we have heard him saying, That this Jesus the Nazarean shall overthrow this place, and shall change the customs that Moses delivered to us;'

ylt@Acts:6:15 @and gazing at him, all those sitting in the sanhedrim saw his face as it were the face of a messenger.
