Acts 6:3-6
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.
6:4 But we will devote ourselves to prayer and to the ministry of the word.”
6:5 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.
6:6 They stood these men before the apostles, who prayed
and placed
their hands on them.
