6:3 But carefully select from among
you,
brothers,
seven men who are
well-attested,
full of the
Spirit and of
wisdom,
whom we may
put in charge of this necessary task.
4 But we will
devote ourselves to
prayer and to the
ministry of the
word.”
5 The
proposal pleased the
entire group,
so they
chose Stephen, a
man full of
faith and of the
Holy Spirit,
with Philip,
Prochorus,
Nicanor,
Timon,
Parmenas,
and Nicolas, a
Gentile convert to Judaism from
Antioch.
6 They stood these men
before the
apostles, who
prayed and
placed their hands on them.
