nkjv Acts:6:1-9
nkjv@Acts:6:1 @ 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.
nkjv@Acts:6:2 @ 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.
nkjv@Acts:6:3 @ 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;
nkjv@Acts:6:4 @ but we will give ourselves continually to prayer and to the ministry of the word."
nkjv@Acts:6:5 @ 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,
nkjv@Acts:6:6 @ whom they set before the apostles; and when they had prayed, they laid hands on them.
nkjv@Acts:6:7 @ Then the word of God spread, and the number of the disciples multiplied greatly in Jerusalem, and a great many of the priests were obedient to the faith.
nkjv@Acts:6:8 @ And Stephen, full of faith and power, did great wonders and signs among the people.
