Chapter 6 And in those days, when the
number of the disciples was multiplied,

00:05.820 --> 00:10.200
there arose a murmuring of the Grecians
against the Hebrews, because their widows

00:10.200 --> 00:11.860
were neglected in the daily ministration.

00:12.880 --> 00:16.160
Then the twelve called the multitude of
the disciples unto them, and said,

00:16.460 --> 00:21.320
It is not reason that we should leave the
word of God and serve tables.

00:22.260 --> 00:28.800
Wherefore, brethren, look ye out among you
seven men of honest report, full of the

00:28.800 --> 00:32.640
Holy Ghost and wisdom, whom we may appoint
over this business.

00:33.500 --> 00:37.780
But we will give ourselves continually to
prayer and to the ministry of the word.

00:38.160 --> 00:40.220
And the saying pleased the whole
multitude.

00:40.880 --> 00:45.260
And they chose Stephen, a man full of
faith and of the Holy Ghost, and Philip,

00:45.640 --> 00:50.660
and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon,
and Parmenas, and Nicholas, a proselyte of

00:50.660 --> 00:53.300
Antioch, whom they set before the
apostles.

00:53.960 --> 00:56.720
And when they had prayed, they laid their
hands on them.

00:56.720 --> 00:59.360
And the word of God increased.

01:00.060 --> 01:03.240
And the number of the disciples multiplied
in Jerusalem greatly.

01:03.940 --> 01:07.180
And a great company of the priests were
obedient to the faith.

01:07.880 --> 01:12.820
And Stephen, full of faith and power,
did great wonders and miracles among the

01:12.820 --> 01:13.120
people.

01:14.440 --> 01:18.620
Then there arose certain of the synagogue,
which is called the synagogue of the

01:18.620 --> 01:23.640
Libertines, and Cyrenians, and
Alexandrians, and of them of Cilicia and

01:23.640 --> 01:25.640
of Asia, disputing with Stephen.

01:25.640 --> 01:29.940
And they were not able to resist the
wisdom and the spirit by which he spake.

01:30.780 --> 01:36.640
Then they suborned men, which said,
We have heard him speak blasphemous words

01:36.640 --> 01:39.380
against Moses and against God.

01:39.720 --> 01:42.660
And they stirred up the people,
and the elders, and the scribes,

01:42.720 --> 01:45.800
and came upon him, and caught him,
and brought him to the council,

01:46.280 --> 01:51.180
and set up false witnesses, which said,
This man ceaseth not to speak blasphemous

01:51.180 --> 01:53.400
words against this holy place and the law.

01:53.400 --> 01:57.840
For we have heard him say that this Jesus
of Nazareth shall destroy this place,

01:58.080 --> 02:00.880
and shall change the customs which Moses
delivered us.

02:01.260 --> 02:06.160
And all that sat in the council,
looking steadfastly on him, saw his face

02:06.160 --> 02:08.700
as it had been the face of an angel.
