Acts 6:3-6 ▼

3 But brethren, look out seven men from you of good report, full of the Spirit and wisdom, whom we shall appoint over this interest;

4 and we will give our attention to prayer and the ministry of the word.

5 And the word was pleasing before all the multitude, and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and the Holy Ghost, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolas,

6 the Antiochian proselyte, whom they placed before the apostles, and having prayed, they placed their hands on them.
