1 And1161 in1722 those5025 days,2250 when the number of the3588 disciples3101 were multiplied,4129 there arose1096 a murmuring1112 of the3588 Grecians1675 against4314 the3588 Hebrews,1445 because3754 their846 widows5503 were neglected3865 in1722 the3588 daily2522 ministration.1248
|
2 Then1161 the3588 twelve1427 called4341 the3588 multitude4128 of the3588 disciples3101 unto them, and said,2036 It is2076 not3756 reason701 that we2248 should leave2641 the3588 word3056 of God,2316 and serve1247 tables.5132
|
3 Wherefore,3767 brethren,80 look ye out1980 among1537 you5216 seven2033 men435 of honest report,3140 full4134 of the Holy40 Ghost4151 and2532 wisdom,4678 whom3739 we may appoint2525 over1909 this5026 business.5532
|
4 But1161 we2249 will give ourselves continually4342 to prayer,4335 and2532 to the3588 ministry1248 of the3588 word.3056
|
5 And2532 the3588 saying3056 pleased700 the1799 whole3956 multitude:4128 and2532 they chose1586 Stephen,4736 a man435 full4134 of faith4102 and2532 of the Holy40 Ghost,4151 and2532 Philip,5376 and2532 Prochorus,4402 and2532 Nicanor,3527 and2532 Timon,5096 and2532 Parmenas,3937 and2532 Nicolas3532 a proselyte4339 of Antioch: 491
|
6 Whom3739 they set2476 before1799 the3588 apostles:652 and2532 when they had prayed,4336 they laid their hands on2007 5495 them.846
|
7 And2532 the3588 word3056 of God2316 increased;837 and2532 the3588 number706 of the3588 disciples3101 multiplied4129 in1722 Jerusalem2419 greatly;4970 and5037 a great4183 company3793 of the3588 priests2409 were obedient5219 to the3588 faith.4102
|
8 And1161 Stephen,4736 full4134 of faith4102 and2532 power,1411 did4160 great3173 wonders5059 and2532 miracles4592 among1722 the3588 people.2992
|
9 Then1161 there arose450 certain5100 of1537 the3588 synagogue,4864 which is called3004 the synagogue of the Libertines,3032 and2532 Cyrenians,2956 and2532 Alexandrians,221 and2532 of them3588 of575 Cilicia2791 and2532 of Asia,773 disputing with4802 Stephen.4736
|
10 And2532 they were not able2480 3756 to resist436 the3588 wisdom4678 and2532 the3588 spirit4151 by which3739 he spake.2980
|
11 Then5119 they suborned5260 men,435 which said,3004 We have heard191 him846 speak2980 blasphemous989 words4487 against1519 Moses,3475 and2532 against God.2316
|
12 And5037 they stirred up4787 the3588 people,2992 and2532 the3588 elders,4245 and2532 the3588 scribes,1122 and2532 came upon2186 him, and caught4884 him,846 and2532 brought71 him to1519 the3588 council,4892
|
13 And5037 set up2476 false5571 witnesses,3144 which said,3004 This3778 man444 ceaseth3973 not3756 to speak2980 blasphemous989 words4487 against2596 this5127 holy40 place,5117 and2532 the3588 law: 3551
|
14 For1063 we have heard191 him846 say,3004 that3754 this3778 Jesus2424 of Nazareth3480 shall destroy2647 this5126 place,5117 and2532 shall change236 the3588 customs1485 which3739 Moses3475 delivered3860 us.2254
|
15 And2532 all537 that sat2516 in1722 the3588 council,4892 looking steadfastly816 on1519 him,846 saw1492 his846 face4383 as it had been5616 the face4383 of an angel.32
