Acts 6:3-8

³Look out therefore, brethren, from among yourselves seven men, well reported of, full of the Holy Spirit and wisdom, whom we will establish over this business:

⁴but we will give ourselves up to prayer and the ministry of the word.

⁵And the saying pleased the whole multitude: and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and the Holy Spirit, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolas, a proselyte of Antioch,

⁶whom they set before the apostles; and, having prayed, they laid their hands on them.

⁷And the word of God increased; and the number of the disciples in Jerusalem was very greatly multiplied, and a great crowd of the priests obeyed the faith.

⁸And Stephen, full of grace and power, wrought wonders and great signs among the people.
