1 And in those dayes,
when the number of

Hebrues, because their
wydowes were despysed
in the dayly ministerie.
2 Then the twelue called the multitude
of the disciples together, and sayde: It
is not good that we shoulde leaue the
worde of God, and serue tables.
3 Wherfore brethren, loke ye out among
you seuen men note of honest report, ∧ full of
the holy ghost, and wysedome, to wh&obar;
we may commit this busynesse.
B
4 But we wyll geue our selues continually
to prayer, and to the ministerie of
the worde.
5 And the saying pleased the whole multitude.
And they chose Steuen, a man
full of fayth, and of the holy ghost, and
Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, ∧
Timon, and Permenas, and Nicolas
a conuert of Antioche. note
6 These they set before the apostles: and
wh&ebar; they had prayed, they note layde their
handes on them.
7 And the worde of God encreased, ∧ the
number of þe; disciples multiplied in Hierusalem
greatly, and a great companie
of the priestes were obedient to þe; fayth.
C
8 &rhand; And Steuen full of fayth ∧ power,
dyd great wonders ∧ miracles among
the people.
9 Then there arose certaine of the note synagogue,
which is called [the synagogue]
of the Libertines, and Cyrenians, and
of Alexandria, and of Cilicia, ∧ of Asia,
disputyng with Steuen.
10 And they coulde not resiste the wisedome
and the spirite by the whiche he
spake.
11 Then they priuilie prepared men, whiche

blasphemous wordes agaynst Moyses,
and agaynst God.
12 And they moued the people, and the
elders, and the scribes, and came vppon
hym, and caught him, and brought him
to the counsell.
D
13 And brought foorth false witnesses,
which sayde: This man ceasseth not to

14 For we hearde hym say, that this Iesus

∧ shall chaunge the ordinaunces which
Moyses gaue vs:
15 And all that sate in the counsell, loking
stedfastly on him, saw his face as it had
ben the face of an angell.
