Deeds (Act) of Apostles 6:5-11

⁵And the word pleased before or to all the multitude; and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Ghost, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolas, a comeling or a guest, a man of Antioch.

⁶They ordained these before the sight of the apostles, and they prayed, and laid hands on them.

⁷And the word of the Lord waxed, and the number of the disciples in Jerusalem was much multiplied; also a much company of priests obeyed to the faith.

⁸And Stephen, full of grace and of strength, made wonders and great signs in the people.

⁹But some rose of the synagogue, that was called of Libertines, and Cyrenians, and of men of Alexandria, and of them that were of Cilicia and of Asia, and disputed with Stephen.

¹⁰And they might not withstand the wisdom and the spirit, that spake.

¹¹Then they privily sent men, that should say, that they have heard him saying words of blasphemy against Moses and God.
