Acts 6:1-4 ▼

1 Now in these days of the disciples multiplying, there arose a grumbling of the Hellenists against the Hebrews, because their widows were being overlooked in the daily distribution.

2 So the Twelve, having summoned the multitude of the disciples, said, “It is not desirable for us, having neglected the word of God, to attend tables.

3 Therefore, brothers, select from yourselves seven men being well attested, full of the Spirit and of wisdom, whom we will appoint over this task.

4 And we will steadfastly continue in prayer and the ministry of the word.”
