6:1	In diebus illis, sicut numerus discipulorum crescebat, murmur Graecorum contra Hebraeos, quia viduae eorum despiciebantur in ministrando cotidiano.
6:2	Et sic duodecim, convocans multitudinem discipulorum, dixit: “Non est aequum nos Verbum Dei relinquere, etiam in tabulis servire.
6:3	Ergo, fratres, quaerite inter vos septem viros boni testimonii, repleti Spiritu Sancto et sapientia, quem constituamus super hoc opus.
6:4	Sed vere, assidue erimus in oratione et in ministerio Verbi ».
6:5	Placuitque consilium universae multitudini. Et elegerunt Stephanum, homo fide plenus et Spiritu Sancto, et Philippus et Prochorus et Nicanor et Timon et Parmena et Nicolaus, adventus ab Antiochena.
6:6	Hos proponunt ante conspectum Apostolorum, et orantes, manus imposuerunt eis.
6:7	Verbum autem Domini crescebat, et multiplicatus est numerus discipulorum in Hierusalem nimis. multa etiam turba sacerdotum oboediebat fidei.

2:4	And approaching him as if he were a living stone, rejected by men, certe, but elect and honored by God,
2:5	be also yourselves like living stones, built upon him, a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, so as to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.
2:6	Quod huius, Scripture asserts: "Ecce", I am setting in Zion a chief cornerstone, elect, precious. And whoever will have believed in him will not be confounded.”
2:7	Ergo, to you who believe, he is honor. But to those who do not believe, the stone which the builders have rejected, the same has been made into the head of the corner,
2:8	and a stone of offense, and a rock of scandal, to those who are offended by the Word; neither do they believe, though they also have been built upon him.
2:9	But you are a chosen generation, regale sacerdotium, gens sancta, an acquired people, so that you may announce the virtues of him who has called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.

14:1	“Do not let your heart be troubled. You believe in God. Believe in me also.
14:2	In my Father’s house, there are many dwelling places. If there were not, I would have told you. For I go to prepare a place for you.
14:3	And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will return again, and then I will take you to myself, so that where I am, you also may be.
14:4	And you know where I am going. And you know the way.”
14:5	Thomas said to him, "Dominus", we do not know where you are going, so how can we know the way?"
14:6	Dixit illi Jesus: "Ego sum via, et veritas, et Vita. Nemo venit ad Patrem, nisi per me.
14:7	Si cognovissetis me, certe et Patrem meum cognovistis. Et posthac, cognoscetis eum, et vidistis eum.
14:8	Dixit ei Philippus, "Dominus", Pater nobis revelare, et sufficit nobis.
14:9	Dixit illi Jesus: "Ego vobiscum sum tam diu, et non cognovistis me? philippus, qui videt me, Patrem quoque videt. Quomodo dicis?, 'Patrem nobis revela?'
14:10	non creditis quia ego in Patre et Pater in me est? Verba quae ego loquor ad vos, a meipso non loquor. Pater autem in me manens, facit haec opera.
14:11	non creditis quia ego in Patre et Pater in me est?
14:12	Aut, credo propter eadem opera. Amen, Amen, tibi dico, qui credit in me et opera quae ego facio. et maiora his faciet, quia vado ad Patrem.
