Acts 6:3-6 ▼

3 Therefore, brethren, do ye look out for seven men from among yourselves, the best approved, full of the Holy Ghost and wisdom, whom we may appoint to superintend this business.

4 But we will devote ourselves constantly to prayer, and to the ministry of the word.

5 And this saying was very agreeable to all the multitude: and they elected Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Ghost, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicholas a proselyte a man of Antioch:

6 whom they presented before the apostles: and having prayed, they laid their hands upon them.
