Acts 6:1-3

Selection of the Seven

Now in those days, while the ^adisciples were ^bmultiplying in number, there was grumbling from the ¹^cHellenists against the ^dHebrews, because their ^ewidows were being overlooked in ^fthe daily serving of food. 2 So the twelve summoned the ¹congregation of the disciples and said, “It is not pleasing to God for us to neglect the word of God in order to serve tables. 3 Therefore, ^abrothers, select from among you seven men of good reputation, ^bfull of the Spirit and of wisdom, whom we may put in charge of this need.
