* And in those days , when the number of the disciples was multiplied , there arose a murmuring of the Grecians against the Hebrews , because their widows were neglected in the daily ministration . * Then the twelve called the multitude of the disciples unto them , and said , It is not reason that we should leave the word of God , and serve tables . * Wherefore , brethren , look ye out among you seven men of honest report , full of the Holy Ghost and wisdom , whom we may appoint over this business . * But we will give ourselves continually to prayer , and to the ministry of the word . * And the saying pleased the whole multitude : and they chose 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 before the apostles : and when they had prayed , they laid their hands on them . * And the word of God increased ; and the number of the disciples multiplied in Jerusalem greatly ; and a great company of the priests were obedient to the faith .
