\subsection{Acts 6}
\VS{1} Now in those days when the disciples were multiplying there came to pass [a] 
complaint of the Greeks against the Jews that their widows were being 
overlooked in the daily service. 
\VS{2} So the twelve having called upon the multitude of disciples, they said: 
It is not pleasing for us having forsaken the word of God [inorder] to be serving tables. 
\VS{3} So examine, brothers, seven men 
from [among] you having witness born to them [that they are] full of [the] spirit and of wisdom, whom we will appoint over this need.
\VS{4} But we will persist in prayer and in the service of the word. 
\VS{5} And [this] word pleased before all the multitude, 
and they chose Stephen, [a] man full of faith and of [the] Holy Spirit, and Phillip 
and Prochoros and Nicanora and Timona and Parmena and Nicolaos proselyte 
[of] Antiochea, 
\VS{6} whom they stood before the apostles, and having prayed 
they placed on them their hands.

\VS{7} And the word of God increased, and the number of disciples in 
Jerusalem multiplied greatly, and [a] great crowd of priests were obeying in 
faith. 
\VS{8} Now Stephen full of grace and power was doing great wonders 
and signs among the people. 
\VS{9} So there arose certain men from the 
synagogue being called [the synagogue] of the Liberines and Cyrenians and Alexandrians, and 
of them of Cilicia and of Asia, arguing with Stephen, 
\VS{10} and they were 
not able to resist the wisdom of the spirit with\footnote{or ``from''} which 
he spoke. 
\VS{11} Then they [secretly] instigated men saying that: We have heard him 
speaking slanderous words against Moses and God, 
\VS{12} and they set in 
motion the people and the elders and the scribes, and having arrived they 
seized him and brought [him] to the council, 
\VS{13} and the false witnesses 
stood saying: This man does not cease speaking words against this holy place 
and [against our] law. 
\VS{14} For we have heard him saying that this Jesus the Nazarene 
will demolish this place and will change the customs which Moses delivered 
to us. 
\VS{15} And all those sitting in the council, having looked intently 
to him, saw his face as [the] face of [an] angel.
