Acts 6:3-6 ▼

3 Therefore, brothers, select from among you seven men of good reputation, full of the Spirit and of wisdom, whom we may put in charge of this need.

4 But we will devote ourselves to prayer and to the service of the word.”

5 And this word pleased the whole congregation, and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit, and Philip, Prochorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and Nicolas, a proselyte from Antioch.

6 And these they stood before the apostles, and after praying, they laid their hands on them.
