Kisah Para Rasul 6

6:1 Pada masa itu, kerana bilangan murid semakin bertambah, berlaku rungutan orang Yunani terhadap orang Ibrani, kerana balu-balu mereka diperlakukan dengan hina dalam pelayanan harian.
6:2 Dan begitu juga dua belas, memanggil kumpulan murid-murid beramai-ramai, berkata: “Adalah tidak adil bagi kita untuk meninggalkan Firman Tuhan untuk berkhidmat di meja juga.
6:3 Oleh itu, adik, carilah di antara kamu tujuh orang yang mempunyai kesaksian yang baik, penuh dengan Roh Kudus dan dengan hikmat, yang boleh kami lantik atas kerja ini.
6:4 Namun sebenarnya, kami akan sentiasa dalam doa dan dalam pelayanan Firman.”
6:5 Dan rancangan itu menggembirakan seluruh orang ramai. Dan mereka memilih Stephen, seorang lelaki yang dipenuhi dengan iman dan dengan Roh Kudus, dan Filipus dan Prokhorus dan Nikanor dan Timon dan Parmenas dan Nicolas, kedatangan baru dari Antioch.
6:6 Ini mereka letakkan di hadapan pandangan para Rasul, dan semasa solat, mereka mengenakan tangan ke atas mereka.
6:7 Dan Firman Tuhan semakin bertambah, dan bilangan murid di Yerusalem berlipat ganda dengan sangat. Dan bahkan sekumpulan besar imam taat kepada iman.
6:8 Then Stephen, filled with grace and fortitude, wrought great signs and miracles among the people.
6:9 But certain ones, from the synagogue of the so-called Libertines, and of the Cyrenians, and of the Alexandrians, and of those who were from Cilicia and Asia rose up and were disputing with Stephen.
6:10 But they were not able to resist the wisdom and the Spirit with which he was speaking.
6:11 Then they suborned men who were to claim that they had heard him speaking words of blasphemy against Moses and against God.
6:12 And thus did they stir up the people and the elders and the scribes. And hurrying together, they seized him and brought him to the council.
6:13 And they set up false witnesses, who said: “This man does not cease to speak words against the holy place and the law.
6:14 For we have heard him saying that this Jesus the Nazarene will destroy this place and will change the traditions, which Moses handed down to us.”
6:15 And all those who were sitting in the council, gazing at him, saw his face, as if it had become the face of an Angel.
