| [1]AndG1161 inG1722 thoseG5025 daysG2250, when the numberG4129 of the disciplesG3101 was multipliedG4129[G5723], there aroseG1096[G5633] a murmuringG1112 of the GreciansG1675 againstG4314 the HebrewsG1445, becauseG3754 theirG846 widowsG5503 were neglectedG3865[G5712] inG1722 the dailyG2522 ministrationG1248. |
[1]And in those days, as the number of the disciples grew, there arose a murmuring of the Grecians towards the Hebrews, because their widows were neglected in the daily ministering. |
| [2]ThenG1161 the twelveG1427 calledG4341[G5666] the multitudeG4128 of the disciplesG3101 unto them, and saidG2036[G5627], It isG2076[G5748] notG3756 reasonG701 that weG2248 should leaveG2641[G5660] the wordG3056 of GodG2316, and serveG1247[G5721] tablesG5132. |
[2]Then the twelve called the multitude of the disciples together, and said, It is not meet that we should leave the word of God to serve the tables. |
| [3]WhereforeG3767, brethrenG80, look ye outG1980[G5663] amongG1537 youG5216 sevenG2033 menG435 of honest reportG3140[G5746], fullG4134 of the HolyG40 GhostG4151 andG2532 wisdomG4678, whomG3739 we may appointG2525[G5692] overG1909 thisG5026 businessG5532. |
[3]Wherefore brethren, look ye out among you seven men of honest report, and full of the Holy Ghost, and of wisdom, which we may appoint to this business. |
| [4]ButG1161 weG2249 will give ourselves continuallyG4342[G5692] to prayerG4335, andG2532 to the ministryG1248 of the wordG3056. |
[4]And we will give ourselves continually to prayer, and to the ministration of the word. |
| [5]AndG2532 the sayingG3056 pleasedG700[G5656][G1799] the wholeG3956 multitudeG4128: andG2532 they choseG1586[G5668] StephenG4736, a manG435 fullG4134 of faithG4102 andG2532 of the HolyG40 GhostG4151, andG2532 PhilipG5376, andG2532 ProchorusG4402, andG2532 NicanorG3527, andG2532 TimonG5096, andG2532 ParmenasG3937, andG2532 NicolasG3532 a proselyteG4339 of AntiochG491: |
[5]And the saying pleased the whole multitude: and they chose Steven a man full of faith and of the Holy Ghost, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolas a Proselyte of Antiochia, |
| [6]WhomG3739 they setG2476[G5627] beforeG1799 the apostlesG652: andG2532 when they had prayedG4336[G5666], they laidG2007 their handsG5495 onG2007[G5656] themG846. |
[6]Which they set before the Apostles: and they prayed, and laid their hands on them. |
| [7]AndG2532 the wordG3056 of GodG2316 increasedG837[G5707]; andG2532 the numberG706 of the disciplesG3101 multipliedG4129[G5712] inG1722 JerusalemG2419 greatlyG4970; andG5037 a greatG4183 companyG3793 of the priestsG2409 were obedientG5219[G5707] to the faithG4102. |
[7]And the word of God increased, and the number of the disciples was multiplied in Jerusalem greatly, and a great company of the Priests were obedient to the faith. |
| [8]AndG1161 StephenG4736, fullG4134 of faithG4102 andG2532 powerG1411, didG4160[G5707] greatG3173 wondersG5059 andG2532 miraclesG4592 amongG1722 the peopleG2992. |
[8]Â Now Steven full of faith and power, did great wonders and miracles among the people. |
| [9]ThenG1161 there aroseG450[G5656] certainG5100 ofG1537 the synagogueG4864, whichG3588 is calledG3004[G5746] the synagogue of the LibertinesG3032, andG2532 CyreniansG2956, andG2532 AlexandriansG221, andG2532 of them ofG575 CiliciaG2791 andG2532 of AsiaG773, disputingG4802[G5723] with StephenG4736. |
[9]Then there arose certain of the Synagogue, which are called Libertines, and Cyrenians, and of Alexandria, and of them of Cilicia, and of Asia, and disputed with Steven. |
| [10]AndG2532 they wereG2480 notG3756 ableG2480[G5707] to resistG436[G5629] the wisdomG4678 andG2532 the spiritG4151 by whichG3739 he spakeG2980.[G5707] |
[10]But they were not able to resist the wisdom, and the Spirit by the which he spake. |
| [11]ThenG5119 they subornedG5260[G5627] menG435, which saidG3004[G5723],[G3754] We have heardG191[G5754] himG846 speakG2980[G5723] blasphemousG989 wordsG4487 againstG1519 MosesG3475, andG2532 against GodG2316. |
[11]Then they suborned men, which said, We have heard him speak blasphemous words against Moses, and God. |
| [12]AndG5037 they stirred upG4787[G5656] the peopleG2992, andG2532 the eldersG4245, andG2532 the scribesG1122, andG2532 came uponG2186[G5631] him, and caughtG4884[G5656] himG846, andG2532 broughtG71[G5627] him toG1519 the councilG4892, |
[12]Thus they moved the people and the Elders, and the Scribes: and running upon him, caught him, and brought him to the Council, |
| [13]AndG5037 set upG2476[G5627] falseG5571 witnessesG3144, which saidG3004[G5723], ThisG5127 manG444 ceasethG3973[G5731] notG3756 to speakG2980[G5723] blasphemousG989 wordsG4487 againstG2596 thisG3778 holyG40 placeG5117, andG2532 the lawG3551: |
[13]And set forth false witnesses, which said, This man ceaseth not to speak blasphemous words against this holy place, and the Law. |
| [14]ForG1063 we have heardG191[G5754] himG846 sayG3004[G5723], thatG3754 thisG5126 JesusG2424 of NazarethG3480 shall destroyG2647[G5692] thisG3778 placeG5117, andG2532 shall changeG236[G5692] the customsG1485 whichG3739 MosesG3475 deliveredG3860[G5656] usG2254. |
[14]For we have heard him say, that this Jesus of Nazareth shall destroy this place, and shall change the ordinances, which Moses gave us. |
| [15]AndG2532 allG537 that satG2516[G5740] inG1722 the councilG4892, looking stedfastlyG816[G5660] onG1519 himG846, sawG1492[G5627] hisG846 faceG4383 as it had beenG5616 the faceG4383 of an angelG32. |
[15]And as all that sat in the Council, looked steadfastly on him, they saw his face as it had been the face of an Angel. |
