The Acts of the Apostles 6: 1-7

6:1Тих дана, as the number of disciples was increasing, there occurred a murmuring of the Greeks against the Hebrews, because their widows were treated with disdain in the daily ministration.
6:2And so the twelve, calling together the multitude of the disciples, рекао: “It is not fair for us to leave behind the Word of God to serve at tables also.
6:3Стога, браћа, search among yourselves for seven men of good testimony, filled with the Holy Spirit and with wisdom, whom we may appoint over this work.
6:4Ипак заиста, we will be continually in prayer and in the ministry of the Word.”
6:5And the plan pleased the entire multitude. And they chose Stephen, a man filled with faith and with the Holy Spirit, and Philip and Prochorus and Nicanor and Timon and Parmenas and Nicolas, a new arrival from Antioch.
6:6These they set before the sight of the Apostles, and while praying, they imposed hands on them.
6:7And the Word of the Lord was increasing, and the number of disciples in Jerusalem was multiplied exceedingly. And even a large group of the priests were obedient to the faith.

6:19И тако, when they had rowed about twenty-five or thirty stadia, they saw Jesus walking on the sea, and drawing near to the boat, and they were afraid.
6:20Али он им рече: “It is I. Do not be afraid.”
6:21Стога, they were willing to receive him into the boat. But immediately the boat was at the land to which they were going.
