Acts 6:2-15

6:2

Then
<1161>

the twelve
<1427>

called
<4341> (5666)

the multitude
<4128>

of the disciples
<3101>

[unto them], and said
<2036> (5627)_,

It is
<2076> (5748)

not
<3756>

reason
<701>

that we
<2248>

should leave
<2641> (5660)

the word
<3056>

of God
<2316>_,

and serve
<1247> (5721)

tables
<5132>_.

6:3

Wherefore
<3767>_,

brethren
<80>_,

look ye out
<1980> (5663)

among
<1537>

you
<5216>

seven
<2033>

men
<435>

of honest report
<3140> (5746)_,

full
<4134>

of the Holy
<40>

Ghost
<4151>

and
<2532>

wisdom
<4678>_,

whom
<3739>

we may appoint
<2525> (5692)

over
<1909>

this
<5026>

business
<5532>_.

6:4

But
<1161>

we
<2249>

will give ourselves continually
<4342> (5692)

to prayer
<4335>_,

and
<2532>

to the ministry
<1248>

of the word
<3056>_.

6:5

And
<2532>

the saying
<3056>

pleased
<700> (5656) <1799>

the whole
<3956>

multitude
<4128>_:

and
<2532>

they chose
<1586> (5668)

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> (5627)

before
<1799>

the apostles
<652>_:

and
<2532>

when they had prayed
<4336> (5666)_,

they laid
<2007> (0)

[their] hands
<5495>

on
<2007> (5656)

them
<846>_.

6:7

And
<2532>

the word
<3056>

of God
<2316>

increased
<837> (5707)_;

and
<2532>

the number
<706>

of the disciples
<3101>

multiplied
<4129> (5712)

in
<1722>

Jerusalem
<2419>

greatly
<4970>_;

and
<5037>

a great
<4183>

company
<3793>

of the priests
<2409>

were obedient
<5219> (5707)

to the faith
<4102>_.

6:8

And
<1161>

Stephen
<4736>_,

full
<4134>

of faith
<4102>

and
<2532>

power
<1411>_,

did
<4160> (5707)

great
<3173>

wonders
<5059>

and
<2532>

miracles
<4592>

among
<1722>

the people
<2992>_.

6:9

Then
<1161>

there arose
<450> (5656)

certain
<5100>

of
<1537>

the synagogue
<4864>_,

which
<3588>

is called
<3004> (5746)

[the synagogue] of the Libertines
<3032>_,

and
<2532>

Cyrenians
<2956>_,

and
<2532>

Alexandrians
<221>_,

and
<2532>

of them of
<575>

Cilicia
<2791>

and
<2532>

of Asia
<773>_,

disputing
<4802> (5723)

with Stephen
<4736>_.

6:10

And
<2532>

they were
<2480> (0)

not
<3756>

able
<2480> (5707)

to resist
<436> (5629)

the wisdom
<4678>

and
<2532>

the spirit
<4151>

by which
<3739>

he spake
<2980> (5707)_.

6:11

Then
<5119>

they suborned
<5260> (5627)

men
<435>_,

which said
<3004> (5723)_,

<3754>

We have heard
<191> (5754)

him
<846>

speak
<2980> (5723)

blasphemous
<989>

words
<4487>

against
<1519>

Moses
<3475>_,

and
<2532>

[against] God
<2316>_.

6:12

And
<5037>

they stirred up
<4787> (5656)

the people
<2992>_,

and
<2532>

the elders
<4245>_,

and
<2532>

the scribes
<1122>_,

and
<2532>

came upon
<2186> (5631)

[him], and caught
<4884> (5656)

him
<846>_,

and
<2532>

brought
<71> (5627)

[him] to
<1519>

the council
<4892>_,

6:13

And
<5037>

set up
<2476> (5627)

false
<5571>

witnesses
<3144>_,

which said
<3004> (5723)_,

This
<5127>

man
<444>

ceaseth
<3973> (5731)

not
<3756>

to speak
<2980> (5723)

blasphemous
<989>

words
<4487>

against
<2596>

this
<3778>

holy
<40>

place
<5117>_,

and
<2532>

the law
<3551>_:

6:14

For
<1063>

we have heard
<191> (5754)

him
<846>

say
<3004> (5723)_,

that
<3754>

this
<5126>

Jesus
<2424>

of Nazareth
<3480>

shall destroy
<2647> (5692)

this
<3778>

place
<5117>_,

and
<2532>

shall change
<236> (5692)

the customs
<1485>

which
<3739>

Moses
<3475>

delivered
<3860> (5656)

us
<2254>_.

{customs: or, rites}

6:15

And
<2532>

all
<537>

that sat
<2516> (5740)

in
<1722>

the council
<4892>_,

looking stedfastly
<816> (5660)

on
<1519>

him
<846>_,

saw
<1492> (5627)

his
<846>

face
<4383>

as it had been
<5616>

the face
<4383>

of an angel
<32>_.
