Dual Panel1And <1161> in <1722> those <5025> days <2250>_, when the number <4129> (0) of the disciples <3101> was multiplied <4129> (5723)_, there arose <1096> (5633) a murmuring <1112> of the Grecians <1675> against <4314> the Hebrews <1445>_, because <3754> their <846> widows <5503> were neglected <3865> (5712) in <1722> the daily <2522> ministration <1248>_.
2Then <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>_.
3Wherefore <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>_.
4But <1161> we <2249> will give ourselves continually <4342> (5692) to prayer <4335>_, and <2532> to the ministry <1248> of the word <3056>_.
5And <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>_:
6Whom <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>_.
7And <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>_.
8And <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>_.
9Then <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>_.
10And <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)_.
11Then <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>_.
12And <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>_,
13And <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>_:
14For <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}
15And <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>_.
