 <<  Kisah Para Rasul 6 >> 

1ABOUT this time, when the number of disciples was continually increasing, the Greeks complained that in the daily distribution of food the Hebrew widows were being given preferential treatment.

2The twelve summoned the whole body of the disciples together, and said, "It is not right that we should have to neglect preaching the Word of God in order to look after the accounts.

3You, our brothers, must look round and pick out from your number seven men of good reputation who are both practical and spirituallyminded and we will put them in charge of this matter.

4Then we shall devote ourselves wholeheartedly to prayer and the ministry of the Word."

5This suggestion met with unanimous approval and they chose Stephen a man full of faith and the Holy Spirit, Philip, Prochorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and Nicolas of Antioch who had previously been a convert to the Jewish faith.

6They brought these men before the apostles, and they, after prayer, laid their hands upon them.

7So the Word of God gained more and more ground. The number of disciples in Jerusalem greatly increased, while a considerable proportion of the priesthood accepted the faith.

8Stephen, full of grace and spiritual power, continued to perform miracles and remarkable signs among the people.

9However, members of a Jewish synagogue known as that of the Freed Men, together with some from the synagogues of Cyrene and Alexandria, as well as some men from Cilicia and Asia, tried debating with Stephen,

10but found themselves quite unable to stand up against either his practical wisdom or the spiritual force with which he spoke.

11In the end they bribed men to allege, "We have heard this man making blasphemous statements against Moses and against God."

12At the same time they worked upon the feelings of the people, the elders and the scribes. Then they suddenly confronted Stephen, seized him and took him before the Sanhedrin.

13There they brought forward false witnesses to say, "This man's speeches are one long attack against this holy place and the Law.

14We have heard him say that Jesus of Nazareth will destroy this place and change the customs which Moses handed down to us."

15All who sat there in the Sanhedrin looked intently at Stephen, and as they looked his face appeared to them like the face of an angel.
