In  those  days  when  the  number  of  disciples  was  increasing,  the  Grecian  Jews  among  them  complained  against  the  Hebraic  Jews  because  their  widows  were  being  overlooked  in  the  daily  distribution  of  food.

So  the  Twelve  gathered  all  the  disciples  together  and  said,  "It  would  not  be  right  for  us  to  neglect  the  ministry  of  the  word  of  God  in  order  to  wait  on  tables.  Brothers,  choose  seven  men  from  among  you  who  are  known  to  be  full  of  the  Spirit  and  wisdom.  We  will  turn  this  responsibility  over  to  them  and  will  give  our  attention  to  prayer  and  the  ministry  of  the  word."

This  proposal  pleased  the  whole  group.  They  chose  Stephen,  a  man  full  of  faith  and  of  the  Holy  Spirit;  also  Philip,  Procorus,  Nicanor,  Timon,  Parmenas,  and  Nicolas  from  Antioch,  a  convert  to  Judaism.  They  presented  these  men  to  the  apostles,  who  prayed  and  laid  their  hands  on  them.

So  the  word  of  God  spread.  The  number  of  disciples  in  Jerusalem  increased  rapidly,  and  a  large  number  

of  priests  became  obedient  to  the  faith.
