Acts 6:3-6 ▼

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.”

5 And the statement was pleasing before all the multitude. And they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolas, a convert of Antioch,

6 whom they set before the apostles. And having prayed, they laid the hands on them.
