Acts:6:1-6
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Now in those days ,
when the number of the disciples was multiplying ,
there arose a complaint against the Hebrews by the Hellenists ,
because their widows were neglected in the daily distribution .
*
Then the twelve summoned the multitude of the disciples and said , "
It is not desirable that we should leave the word of God and serve tables .
*
Therefore ,
brethren ,
seek out from among you seven men of good reputation ,
full of the Holy Spirit 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 the Holy Spirit ,
and Philip ,
Prochorus ,
Nicanor ,
Timon ,
Parmenas ,
and Nicolas ,
a proselyte from Antioch ,
*
whom they set before the apostles ;
and when they had prayed ,
they laid hands on them .
