6:1 And 1161 in 1722 those 5025 days 2250, when the number 4129 0 of the disciples 3101 was multiplied 4129 5723, there arose 1096 5633 a murmuring 1112 of the Grecians 1675 against 4314 the Hebrews 1445, because 3754 their 846 widows 5503 were neglected 3865 5712 in 1722 the daily 2522 ministration 1248.

6:2 Then 1161 the twelve 1427 called 4341 5666 the multitude 4128 of the disciples 3101 [unto them], and said 2036 5627, It is 2076 5748 not 3756 reason 701 that we 2248 should leave 2641 5660 the word 3056 of God 2316, and serve 1247 5721 tables 5132.

6:3 Wherefore 3767, brethren 80, look ye out 1980 5663 among 1537 you 5216 seven 2033 men 435 of honest report 3140 5746, full 4134 of the Holy 40 Ghost 4151 and 2532 wisdom 4678, whom 3739 we may appoint 2525 5692 over 1909 this 5026 business 5532.

6:4 But 1161 we 2249 will give ourselves continually 4342 5692 to prayer 4335, and 2532 to the ministry 1248 of the word 3056.

6:5 And 2532 the saying 3056 pleased 700 5656 1799 the whole 3956 multitude 4128: and 2532 they chose 1586 5668 Stephen 4736, a man 435 full 4134 of faith 4102 and 2532 of the Holy 40 Ghost 4151, and 2532 Philip 5376, and 2532 Prochorus 4402, and 2532 Nicanor 3527, and 2532 Timon 5096, and 2532 Parmenas 3937, and 2532 Nicolas 3532 a proselyte 4339 of Antioch 491:

6:6 Whom 3739 they set 2476 5627 before 1799 the apostles 652: and 2532 when they had prayed 4336 5666, they laid 2007 0 [their] hands 5495 on 2007 5656 them 846.

6:7 And 2532 the word 3056 of God 2316 increased 837 5707; and 2532 the number 706 of the disciples 3101 multiplied 4129 5712 in 1722 Jerusalem 2419 greatly 4970; and 5037 a great 4183 company 3793 of the priests 2409 were obedient 5219 5707 to the faith 4102.

6:8 And 1161 Stephen 4736, full 4134 of faith 4102 and 2532 power 1411, did 4160 5707 great 3173 wonders 5059 and 2532 miracles 4592 among 1722 the people 2992.

6:9 Then 1161 there arose 450 5656 certain 5100 of 1537 the synagogue 4864, which 3588 is called 3004 5746 [the synagogue] of the Libertines 3032, and 2532 Cyrenians 2956, and 2532 Alexandrians 221, and 2532 of them of 575 Cilicia 2791 and 2532 of Asia 773, disputing 4802 5723 with Stephen 4736.

6:10 And 2532 they were 2480 0 not 3756 able 2480 5707 to resist 436 5629 the wisdom 4678 and 2532 the spirit 4151 by which 3739 he spake 2980 5707.

6:11 Then 5119 they suborned 5260 5627 men 435, which said 3004 5723, 3754 We have heard 191 5754 him 846 speak 2980 5723 blasphemous 989 words 4487 against 1519 Moses 3475, and 2532 [against] God 2316.

6:12 And 5037 they stirred up 4787 5656 the people 2992, and 2532 the elders 4245, and 2532 the scribes 1122, and 2532 came upon 2186 5631 [him], and caught 4884 5656 him 846, and 2532 brought 71 5627 [him] to 1519 the council 4892,

6:13 And 5037 set up 2476 5627 false 5571 witnesses 3144, which said 3004 5723, This 5127 man 444 ceaseth 3973 5731 not 3756 to speak 2980 5723 blasphemous 989 words 4487 against 2596 this 3778 holy 40 place 5117, and 2532 the law 3551:

6:14 For 1063 we have heard 191 5754 him 846 say 3004 5723, that 3754 this 5126 Jesus 2424 of Nazareth 3480 shall destroy 2647 5692 this 3778 place 5117, and 2532 shall change 236 5692 the customs 1485 which 3739 Moses 3475 delivered 3860 5656 us 2254.(customs: or, rites)

6:15 And 2532 all 537 that sat 2516 5740 in 1722 the council 4892, looking stedfastly 816 5660 on 1519 him 846, saw 1492 5627 his 846 face 4383 as it had been 5616 the face 4383 of an angel 32.
