Acts 6:1

Seven Chosen to Serve

1 Now in those days, ^awhen the number of the disciples was multiplying, there arose a complaint against the Hebrews by the ^bHellenists, because their widows were neglected ^cin the daily distribution.

2 Then the twelve summoned the multitude of the disciples and said, ^a“It is not desirable that we should leave the word of God and serve tables.

3 Therefore, brethren, ^aseek out from among you seven men of good reputation, full of the Holy Spirit and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this ^bbusiness;

4 but we ^awill give ourselves continually to prayer and to the ministry of the word.”
