Acts:6:1-7
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And in those days ,
when the number of the disciples was multiplied (
5723 ),
there arose (
5633 )
a murmuring of the Grecians against the Hebrews ,
because their widows were neglected (
5712 )
in the daily ministration .
*
Then the twelve called (
5666 )
the multitude of the disciples unto them ,
and said (
5627 ),
It is (
5748 )
not reason that we should leave (
5660 )
the word of God ,
and serve (
5721 )
tables .
*
Wherefore ,
brethren ,
look ye out (
5663 )
among you seven men of honest report (
5746 ),
full of the Holy Ghost and wisdom ,
whom we may appoint (
5692 )
over this business .
*
But we will give ourselves continually (
5692 )
to prayer ,
and to the ministry of the word .
*
And the saying pleased (
5656 )
the whole multitude :
and they chose (
5668 )
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 :
*
Whom they set (
5627 )
before the apostles :
and when they had prayed (
5666 ),
they laid their hands on (
5656 )
them .
*
And the word of God increased (
5707 );
and the number of the disciples multiplied (
5712 )
in Jerusalem greatly ;
and a great company of the priests were obedient (
5707 )
to the faith .
