Acts 6:3-6 ▼

3 look out, therefore, brothers, seven men of you who are testified well of, full of the Holy Spirit and wisdom, whom we may set over this necessity,

4 and we to prayer, and to the ministry of the word, will give ourselves continually.”

5 And the thing was pleasing before all the multitude, and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and the Holy Spirit, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolaus, a proselyte of Antioch,

6 whom they set before the apostles, and they, having prayed, laid [their] hands on them.
