Acts 6

1 The Apostles, desirous to have the poor regarded for their bodily sustenance, as also careful themselves to dispense the Word of God, the food of the soul: 3 appoint the office of deaconship to seven chosen men. 5 Of whom Stephen, a man full of faith, and of the Holy Ghost, is one. 12 Who is taken of those, whom he confounded in disputing, 13 and after falsely accused of blasphemy against the Law and the Temple.

 6:1 ¶ And 1161 in 1722 those 5025 days, 2250 when the number y4129 z0 of the x3588 disciples 3101 was multiplied, 4129 z5723 there arose 1096 z5633 a murmuring 1112 of the x3588 Grecians 1675 against 4314 the x3588 Hebrews, 1445 because 3754 their 846 widows 5503 were neglected 3865 z5712 in 1722 the x3588 daily 2522 ministration. 1248

 6:2 Then 1161 the x3588 twelve 1427 called 4341 z5666 the x3588 multitude 4128 of the x3588 disciples 3101 [unto them], and said, 2036 z5627 It is 2076 z5748 not 3756 reason 701 that we 2248 should leave 2641 z5660 the x3588 word 3056 of God, 2316 and serve 1247 z5721 tables. 5132

 6:3 Wherefore, 3767 brethren, 80 look ye out 1980 z5663 among 1537 you 5216 seven 2033 men 435 of honest report, 3140 z5746 full 4134 of the Holy 40 Ghost 4151 and 2532 wisdom, 4678 whom 3739 we may appoint 2525 z5692 over 1909 this 5026 business. 5532

 6:4 But 1161 we 2249 will give ourselves continually 4342 z5692 to prayer, 4335 and 2532 to the x3588 ministry 1248 of the x3588 word. 3056

 6:5 ¶ And 2532 the x3588 saying 3056 pleased 700 z5656 y1799 the x1799 whole 3956 multitude: 4128 and 2532 they chose 1586 z5668 Stephen, 4736 a man 435 full 4134 of faith 4102 and 2532 of the Holy 40 Ghost, 4151 and 2532 Philip, 5376 and 2532 Prochorus, 4402 and 2532 Nicanor, 3527 and 2532 Timon, 5096 and 2532 Parmenas, 3937 and 2532 Nicolas 3532 a proselyte 4339 of Antioch: 491

 6:6 Whom 3739 they set 2476 z5627 before 1799 the x3588 apostles: 652 and 2532 when they had prayed, 4336 z5666 they laid y2007 z0 [their] hands y5495 on 2007 z5656 x5495 them. 846

 6:7 And 2532 the x3588 word 3056 of God 2316 increased; 837 z5707 and 2532 the x3588 number 706 of the x3588 disciples 3101 multiplied 4129 z5712 in 1722 Jerusalem 2419 greatly; 4970 and 5037 a great 4183 company 3793 of the x3588 priests 2409 were obedient 5219 z5707 to the x3588 faith. 4102

 6:8 And 1161 Stephen, 4736 full 4134 of faith 4102 and 2532 power, 1411 did 4160 z5707 great 3173 wonders 5059 and 2532 miracles 4592 among 1722 the x3588 people. 2992

 6:9 ¶ Then 1161 there arose 450 z5656 certain 5100 of 1537 the x3588 synagogue, 4864 which y3588 is called 3004 z5746 [the synagogue] of the Libertines, 3032 and 2532 Cyrenians, 2956 and 2532 Alexandrians, 221 and 2532 of them x3588 of 575 Cilicia 2791 and 2532 of Asia, 773 disputing y4802 z5723 with x4802 Stephen. 4736

 6:10 And 2532 they were y2480 z0 not y3756 able 2480 z5707 x3756 to resist 436 z5629 the x3588 wisdom 4678 and 2532 the x3588 spirit 4151 by which 3739 he spake. 2980 z5707

 6:11 Then 5119 they suborned 5260 z5627 men, 435 which said, 3004 z5723 y3754 We have heard 191 z5754 him 846 speak 2980 z5723 blasphemous 989 words 4487 against 1519 Moses, 3475 and 2532 [against] God. 2316

 6:12 And 5037 they stirred up 4787 z5656 the x3588 people, 2992 and 2532 the x3588 elders, 4245 and 2532 the x3588 scribes, 1122 and 2532 came upon 2186 z5631 [him], and caught 4884 z5656 him, 846 and 2532 brought 71 z5627 [him] to 1519 the x3588 council, 4892

 6:13 And 5037 set up 2476 z5627 false 5571 witnesses, 3144 which said, 3004 z5723 This y5127 x3778 man 444 ceaseth 3973 z5731 not 3756 to speak 2980 z5723 blasphemous 989 words 4487 against 2596 this y3778 x5127 holy 40 place, 5117 and 2532 the x3588 law: 3551

 6:14 For 1063 we have heard 191 z5754 him 846 say, 3004 z5723 that 3754 this y5126 x3778 Jesus 2424 of Nazareth 3480 shall destroy 2647 z5692 this y3778 x5126 place, 5117 and 2532 shall change 236 z5692 the x3588 customs 1485 which 3739 Moses 3475 delivered 3860 z5656 us. 2254

 6:15 And 2532 all 537 that sat 2516 z5740 in 1722 the x3588 council, 4892 looking stedfastly 816 z5660 on 1519 him, 846 saw 1492 z5627 his 846 face 4383 as it had been 5616 the face 4383 of an angel. 32
