Acts 6:4

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.”

5 And the saying pleased the whole multitude. And they chose Stephen, ^aa man full of faith and the Holy Spirit, and ^bPhilip, Prochorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and ^cNicolas, a proselyte from Antioch,

6 whom they set before the apostles; and ^awhen they had prayed, ^bthey laid hands on them.

7 Then ^athe word of God spread, and the number of the disciples multiplied greatly in Jerusalem, and a great many ^bof the priests were obedient to the faith.
