1 And * g1161 in * g1722 those * g5025 days * g2250, when the number * g4129 of the disciples * g3101 was multiplied * g4129 g5723, there arose * g1096 g5633 a murmuring * g1112 of the Grecians * g1675 against * g4314 the Hebrews * g1445, because * g3754 their * g846 widows * g5503 were neglected * g3865 g5712 in * g1722 the daily * g2522 ministration * g1248.
2 Then * g1161 the twelve * g1427 called * g4341 g5666 the multitude * g4128 of the disciples * g3101 unto them , and said * g2036 g5627, It is * g2076 g5748 not * g3756 reason * g701 that we * g2248 should leave * g2641 g5660 the word * g3056 of God * g2316, and serve * g1247 g5721 tables * g5132.
3 Wherefore * g3767, brethren * g80, look ye out * g1980 g5663 among * g1537 you * g5216 seven * g2033 men * g435 of honest report * g3140 g5746, full * g4134 of the Holy * g40 Ghost * g4151 and * g2532 wisdom * g4678, whom * g3739 we may appoint * g2525 g5692 over * g1909 this * g5026 business * g5532.
4 But * g1161 we * g2249 will give ourselves continually * g4342 g5692 to prayer * g4335, and * g2532 to the ministry * g1248 of the word * g3056.
5 And * g2532 the saying * g3056 pleased * g700 g5656 * g1799 the whole * g3956 multitude * g4128: and * g2532 they chose * g1586 g5668 Stephen * g4736, a man * g435 full * g4134 of faith * g4102 and * g2532 of the Holy * g40 Ghost * g4151, and * g2532 Philip * g5376, and * g2532 Prochorus * g4402, and * g2532 Nicanor * g3527, and * g2532 Timon * g5096, and * g2532 Parmenas * g3937, and * g2532 Nicolas * g3532 a proselyte * g4339 of Antioch * g491:
6 Whom * g3739 they set * g2476 g5627 before * g1799 the apostles * g652: and * g2532 when they had prayed * g4336 g5666, they laid * g2007 their hands * g5495 on * g2007 g5656 them * g846.
7 And * g2532 the word * g3056 of God * g2316 increased * g837 g5707; and * g2532 the number * g706 of the disciples * g3101 multiplied * g4129 g5712 in * g1722 Jerusalem * g2419 greatly * g4970; and * g5037 a great * g4183 company * g3793 of the priests * g2409 were obedient * g5219 g5707 to the faith * g4102.
8 And * g1161 Stephen * g4736, full * g4134 of faith * g4102 and * g2532 power * g1411, did * g4160 g5707 great * g3173 wonders * g5059 and * g2532 miracles * g4592 among * g1722 the people * g2992.
9 Then * g1161 there arose * g450 g5656 certain * g5100 of * g1537 the synagogue * g4864, which * g3588 is called * g3004 g5746 the synagogue of the Libertines * g3032, and * g2532 Cyrenians * g2956, and * g2532 Alexandrians * g221, and * g2532 of them of * g575 Cilicia * g2791 and * g2532 of Asia * g773, disputing * g4802 g5723 with Stephen * g4736.
10 And * g2532 they were * g2480 not * g3756 able * g2480 g5707 to resist * g436 g5629 the wisdom * g4678 and * g2532 the spirit * g4151 by which * g3739 he spake * g2980 g5707.
11 Then * g5119 they suborned * g5260 g5627 men * g435, which said * g3004 g5723, * g3754 We have heard * g191 g5754 him * g846 speak * g2980 g5723 blasphemous * g989 words * g4487 against * g1519 Moses * g3475, and * g2532 against God * g2316.
12 And * g5037 they stirred up * g4787 g5656 the people * g2992, and * g2532 the elders * g4245, and * g2532 the scribes * g1122, and * g2532 came upon * g2186 g5631 him , and caught * g4884 g5656 him * g846, and * g2532 brought * g71 g5627 him to * g1519 the council * g4892,
13 And * g5037 set up * g2476 g5627 false * g5571 witnesses * g3144, which said * g3004 g5723, This * g5127 man * g444 ceaseth * g3973 g5731 not * g3756 to speak * g2980 g5723 blasphemous * g989 words * g4487 against * g2596 this * g3778 holy * g40 place * g5117, and * g2532 the law * g3551:
14 For * g1063 we have heard * g191 g5754 him * g846 say * g3004 g5723, that * g3754 this * g5126 Jesus * g2424 of Nazareth * g3480 shall destroy * g2647 g5692 this * g3778 place * g5117, and * g2532 shall change * g236 g5692 the customs * g1485 which * g3739 Moses * g3475 delivered * g3860 g5656 us * g2254. customs: or, rites
15 And * g2532 all * g537 that sat * g2516 g5740 in * g1722 the council * g4892, looking stedfastly * g816 g5660 on * g1519 him * g846, saw * g1492 g5627 his * g846 face * g4383 as it had been * g5616 the face * g4383 of an angel * g32.
