¶ The .vi. Chapter.
IN those days as the number of the disciples §Agrew / there arose a grudge among the Greeks against the Hebrews / because their widows were despised in the daily ministration. Then the twelve called the multitude of the disciples together & said: it is not mete that we should leave the word of God & serve at the tables. Wherefore1 brethren / look ye out among you seven men of honest report / & full of the holy ghost & wisdom / which we may appoint to this needful busyness. But we will give ourselves continually §Bto prayer / & to the ministration of the word. And the saying pleased the whole multitude. And they chose Steven a man full of faith & of the holy ghost / & Philip / & Prochorus / and Nichanor / and Timon / and Permenas / and Nicholas a convert of Antioch. Which they set before the Apostles / and they prayed and laid their hands on them.
