1 # And <1161> in <1722> those <5025> days <2250>, when the number <4129> <0> of the disciples <3101> was multiplied <4129> (5723), there arose <1096> (5633) a murmuring <1112> of the Grecians <1675> against <4314> the Hebrews <1445>, because <3754> their <846> widows <5503> were neglected <3865> (5712) in <1722> the daily <2522> ministration <1248>.
2 Then <1161> the twelve <1427> called <4341> (5666) the multitude <4128> of the disciples <3101> unto them, and said <2036> (5627), It is <2076> (5748) not <3756> reason <701> that we <2248> should leave <2641> (5660) the word <3056> of God <2316>, and serve <1247> (5721) tables <5132>.
3 Wherefore <3767>, brethren <80>, look ye out <1980> (5663) among <1537> you <5216> seven <2033> men <435> of honest report <3140> (5746), full <4134> of the Holy <40> Ghost <4151> and <2532> wisdom <4678>, whom <3739> we may appoint <2525> (5692) over <1909> this <5026> business <5532>.
4 But <1161> we <2249> will give ourselves continually <4342> (5692) to prayer <4335>, and <2532> to the ministry <1248> of the word <3056>.
5 And <2532> the saying <3056> pleased <700> (5656) <1799> the whole <3956> multitude <4128> : and <2532> they chose <1586> (5668) Stephen <4736>, a man <435> full <4134> of faith <4102> and <2532> of the Holy <40> Ghost <4151>, and <2532> Philip <5376>, and <2532> Prochorus <4402>, and <2532> Nicanor <3527>, and <2532> Timon <5096>, and <2532> Parmenas <3937>, and <2532> Nicolas <3532> a proselyte <4339> of Antioch <491>:
6 Whom <3739> they set <2476> (5627) before <1799> the apostles <652>: and <2532> when they had prayed <4336> (5666), they laid <2007> <0> their hands <5495> on <2007> (5656) them <846>.
7 And <2532> the word <3056> of God <2316> increased <837> (5707); and <2532> the number <706> of the disciples <3101> multiplied <4129> (5712) in <1722> Jerusalem <2419> greatly <4970>; and <5037> a great <4183> company <3793> of the priests <2409> were obedient <5219> (5707) to the faith <4102>.
8 # And <1161> Stephen <4736>, full <4134> of faith <4102> and <2532> power <1411>, did <4160> (5707) great <3173> wonders <5059> and <2532> miracles <4592> among <1722> the people <2992>.
9 Then <1161> there arose <450> (5656) certain <5100> of <1537> the synagogue <4864>, which <3588> is called <3004> (5746) the synagogue of the Libertines <3032>, and <2532> Cyrenians <2956>, and <2532> Alexandrians <221>, and <2532> of them of <575> Cilicia <2791> and <2532> of Asia <773>, disputing <4802> (5723) with Stephen <4736>.
10 And <2532> they were <2480> <0> not <3756> able <2480> (5707) to resist <436> (5629) the wisdom <4678> and <2532> the spirit <4151> by which <3739> he spake <2980> (5707).
11 Then <5119> they suborned <5260> (5627) men <435>, which said <3004> (5723), <3754> We have heard <191> (5754) him <846> speak <2980> (5723) blasphemous <989> words <4487> against <1519> Moses <3475>, and <2532> against God <2316>.

12 And <5037> they stirred up <4787> (5656) the people <2992>, and <2532> the elders <4245>, and <2532> the scribes <1122>, and <2532> came upon <2186> (5631) him, and caught <4884> (5656) him <846> , and <2532> brought <71> (5627) him to <1519> the council <4892>,
13 And <5037> set up <2476> (5627) false <5571> witnesses <3144>, which said <3004> (5723) , This <5127> man <444> ceaseth <3973> (5731) not <3756> to speak <2980> (5723) blasphemous <989> words <4487> against <2596> this <3778> holy <40> place <5117>, and <2532> the law <3551>:
- RHEMA - WORD
14 For <1063> we have heard <191> (5754) him <846> say <3004> (5723), that <3754> this <5126> Jesus <2424> of Nazareth <3480> shall destroy <2647> (5692) this <3778> place <5117>, and <2532> shall change <236> (5692) the customs <1485> which <3739> Moses <3475> delivered <3860> (5656) us <2254> .
15 And <2532> all <537> that sat <2516> (5740) in <1722> the council <4892>, looking stedfastly <816> (5660) on <1519> him <846>, saw <1492> (5627) his <846> face <4383> as it had been <5616> the face <4383> of an angel <32>.
