[1] Now in those days, when the number of the disciples was multiplying, a complaint arose from the Hellenistsⓘ against the Hebrews, because their widows were neglected in the daily service. [2] The twelve summoned the multitude of the disciples and said, “It is not appropriate for us to forsake the word of God and serve tables. [3] Therefore, select from among you, brothers, seven men of good report, full of the Holy Spirit and of wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business. [4] But we will continue steadfastly in prayer and in the ministry of the word.” [5] These words pleased the whole multitude. They chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit, Philip, Prochorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and Nicolaus, a proselyte of Antioch, [6] whom they set before the apostles. When they had prayed, they laid their hands on them. [7] The word of God increased and the number of the disciples greatly multiplied in Jerusalem. A great company of the priests were obedient to the faith. [8] Stephen, full of faith and power, performed great wonders and signs among the people. [9] But some of those who were of the synagogue called “The Libertines”, and of the Cyrenians, of the Alexandrians, and of those of Cilicia and Asia arose, disputing with Stephen. [10] They weren’t able to withstand the wisdom and the Spirit by which he spoke. [11] Then they secretly induced men to say, “We have heard him speak blasphemous words against Moses and God.” [12] They stirred up the people, the elders, and the scribes, and came against him and seized him, then brought him in to the council, [13] and set up false witnesses who said, “This man never stops speaking blasphemous words against this holy place and the law. [14] For we have heard him say that this Jesus of Nazareth will destroy this place, and will change the customs which Moses delivered to us.” [15] All who sat in the council, fastening their eyes on him, saw his face like it was the face of an angel.

[1] AndG1161 inG1722 thoseG5025 days,G2250 when the numberG4129 of the disciplesG3101 was multiplied,G4129(PresActPtc) there aroseG1096(Aor2MidDepInd) a murmuringG1112 of the GreciansG1675 againstG4314 the Hebrews,G1445 becauseG3754 theirG846 widowsG5503 were neglectedG3865(ImpfPasInd) inG1722 the dailyG2522 ministration.G1248 [2] ThenG1161 the twelveG1427 calledG4341(AorMidDepPtc) the multitudeG4128 of the disciplesG3101 [unto them], and said,G2036(Aor2ActInd) It isG2076(PresInd) notG3756 reasonG701 that weG2248 should leaveG2641(AorActPtc) the wordG3056 of God,G2316 and serveG1247(PresActInf) tables.G5132 [3] Wherefore,G3767 brethren,G80 look ye outG1980(AorMidDepImpr) amongG1537 youG5216 sevenG2033 menG435 of honest report,G3140(PresPasPtc) fullG4134 of the HolyG40 GhostG4151 andG2532 wisdom,G4678 whomG3739 we may appointG2525(FutActInd) overG1909 thisG5026 business.G5532 [4] ButG1161 weG2249 will give ourselves continuallyG4342(FutActInd) to prayer,G4335 andG2532 to the ministryG1248 of the word.G3056 [5] AndG2532 the sayingG3056 pleasedG700(AorActInd) the wholeG3956 multitude:G4128 andG2532 they choseG1586(AorMidInd) Stephen,G4736 a manG435 fullG4134 of faithG4102 andG2532 of the HolyG40 Ghost,G4151 andG2532 Philip,G5376 andG2532 Prochorus,G4402 andG2532 Nicanor,G3527 andG2532 Timon,G5096 andG2532 Parmenas,G3937 andG2532 NicolasG3532 a proselyteG4339 of Antioch:G491 [6] WhomG3739 they setG2476(Aor2ActInd) beforeG1799 the apostles:G652 andG2532 when they had prayed,G4336(AorMidDepPtc) they laidG2007 [their] handsG5495 onG2007(AorActInd) them.G846 [7] AndG2532 the wordG3056 of GodG2316 increased;G837(ImpfActInd) andG2532 the numberG706 of the disciplesG3101 multipliedG4129(ImpfPasInd) inG1722 JerusalemG2419 greatly;G4970 andG5037 a greatG4183 companyG3793 of the priestsG2409 were obedientG5219(ImpfActInd) to the faith.G4102 [8] AndG1161 Stephen,G4736 fullG4134 of faithG4102 andG2532 power,G1411 didG4160(ImpfActInd) greatG3173 wondersG5059 andG2532 miraclesG4592 amongG1722 the people.G2992 [9] ThenG1161 there aroseG450(AorActInd) certainG5100 ofG1537 the synagogue,G4864 whichG3588 is calledG3004(PresPasPtc) [the synagogue] of the Libertines,G3032 andG2532 Cyrenians,G2956 andG2532 Alexandrians,G221 andG2532 of them ofG575 CiliciaG2791 andG2532 of Asia,G773 disputingG4802(PresActPtc) with Stephen.G4736 [10] AndG2532 they wereG2480 notG3756 ableG2480(ImpfActInd) to resistG436(Aor2ActInf) the wisdomG4678 andG2532 the spiritG4151 by whichG3739 he spake.G2980(ImpfActInd) [11] ThenG5119 they subornedG5260(Aor2ActInd) men,G435 which said,G3004(PresActPtc) We have heardG191(Perf2ActInd) himG846 speakG2980(PresActPtc) blasphemousG989 wordsG4487 againstG1519 Moses,G3475 andG2532 [against] God.G2316 [12] AndG5037 they stirred upG4787(AorActInd) the people,G2992 andG2532 the elders,G4245 andG2532 the scribes,G1122 andG2532 came uponG2186(Aor2ActPtc) [him], and caughtG4884(AorActInd) him,G846 andG2532 broughtG71(Aor2ActInd) [him] toG1519 the council,G4892 [13] AndG5037 set upG2476(Aor2ActInd) falseG5571 witnesses,G3144 which said,G3004(PresActPtc) ThisG5127 manG444 ceasethG3973(PresMidInd) notG3756 to speakG2980(PresActPtc) blasphemousG989 wordsG4487 againstG2596 thisG3778 holyG40 place,G5117 andG2532 the law:G3551 [14] ForG1063 we have heardG191(Perf2ActInd) himG846 say,G3004(PresActPtc) thatG3754 thisG5126 JesusG2424 of NazarethG3480 shall destroyG2647(FutActInd) thisG3778 place,G5117 andG2532 shall changeG236(FutActInd) the customsG1485 whichG3739 MosesG3475 deliveredG3860(AorActInd) us.G2254 [15] AndG2532 allG537 that satG2516(PresMidPasDepPtc) inG1722 the council,G4892 looking stedfastlyG816(AorActPtc) onG1519 him,G846 sawG1492(Aor2ActInd) hisG846 faceG4383 as it had beenG5616 the faceG4383 of an angel.G32
