1 And1161 in1722 those5025 days2250, when the number4129 of the disciples3101 was multiplied4129, there arose1096 a murmuring1112 of the Grecians1675 against4314 the Hebrews1445, because3754 their846 widows5503 were neglected3865 in1722 the daily2522 ministration1248. 2 Then1161 the twelve1427 called4341 the multitude4128 of the disciples3101 unto them, and said2036, It is2076 not3756 reason701 that we2248 should leave2641 the word3056 of God2316, and serve1247 tables5132. 3 Wherefore3767, brethren80, look ye out1980 among1537 you5216 seven2033 men435 of honest report3140, full4134 of the Holy40 Ghost4151 and2532 wisdom4678, whom3739 we may appoint2525 over1909 this5026 business5532. 4 But1161 we2249 will give ourselves continually4342 to prayer4335, and2532 to the ministry1248 of the word3056. 5 And2532 the saying3056 pleased700 1799 the whole3956 multitude4128: and2532 they chose1586 Stephen4736, a man435 full4134 of faith4102 and2532 of the Holy40 Ghost4151, and2532 Philip5376, and2532 Prochorus4402, and2532 Nicanor3527, and2532 Timon5096, and2532 Parmenas3937, and2532 Nicolas3532 a proselyte4339 of Antioch491: 6 Whom3739 they set2476 before1799 the apostles652: and2532 when they had prayed4336, they laid2007 their hands5495 on2007 them846. 7 And2532 the word3056 of God2316 increased837; and2532 the number706 of the disciples3101 multiplied4129 in1722 Jerusalem2419 greatly4970; and5037 a great4183 company3793 of the priests2409 were obedient5219 to the faith4102.

8 And1161 Stephen4736, full4134 of faith4102 and2532 power1411, did4160 great3173 wonders5059 and2532 miracles4592 among1722 the people2992. 9 Then1161 there arose450 certain5100 of1537 the synagogue4864, which3588 is called3004 the synagogue of the Libertines3032, and2532 Cyrenians2956, and2532 Alexandrians221, and2532 of them of575 Cilicia2791 and2532 of Asia773, disputing4802 with Stephen4736. 10 And2532 they were2480 not3756 able2480 to resist436 the wisdom4678 and2532 the spirit4151 by which3739 he spake2980. 11 Then5119 they suborned5260 men435, which said3004 3754, We have heard191 him846 speak2980 blasphemous989 words4487 against1519 Moses3475, and2532 against God2316. 12 And5037 they stirred up4787 the people2992, and2532 the elders4245, and2532 the scribes1122, and2532 came upon2186 him, and caught4884 him846, and2532 brought71 him to1519 the council4892, 13 And5037 set up2476 false5571 witnesses3144, which said3004, This5127 man444 ceaseth3973 not3756 to speak2980 blasphemous989 words4487 against2596 this3778 holy40 place5117, and2532 the law3551: 14 For1063 we have heard191 him846 say3004, that3754 this5126 Jesus2424 of Nazareth3480 shall destroy2647 this3778 place5117, and2532 shall change236 the customs1485 which3739 Moses3475 delivered3860 us2254.¹ 15 And2532 all537 that sat2516 in1722 the council4892, looking stedfastly816 on1519 him846, saw1492 his846 face4383 as it had been5616 the face4383 of an angel32.
