¶ The .vj. Chapter.
¶ Minysters (or deacons) are ordeyned in the congregacion
to do seruyce in necessary thynges of the
body, that the apostles maye wayte onely vp&obar; the
worde of God. Steuen is accused.
A In those dayes (wh&abar; the nomber of
the discyples grewe) there arose a
grudge amonge the Grekes aga&ibar;st
the Hebrues, because their weddowes
were despysed &rhand; in the dayly ministracyon.
Then the twelue called the multitude
of the disciples together and sayde, it is not
mete, that we shuld leaue the worde of God:
and serue tables. Wherfore brethren, loke ye
out amonge you seuen men note of honeste report,
and full of the holy ghost and wisdom,
to whom we maye committe this busynes.
B But we wyll geue oure selues c&obar;tinually to
prayer, and to the ministracy&obar; of the worde.
And the sayinge pleased the whole multitude.
And they chose Steuen a m&abar; full of faith
and of the holy ghost, and Philip, and Procorus,
and Nichanor, and Timon, and Permenas,
and note Nicolas a c&obar;uert of Antioche.
These they set before the apostles: and when
they had prayed, they note layde theyr handes
on them.
And the word of God encreased, and the
nomber of the disciples multiplyed in Ierusalem
greatly, and a greate companye of the
prestes were obedient to the fayth.
C &cross2; And Steuen, full of fayth and power,
dyd great wondres and miracles am&obar;ge the
people. Then ther arose certen of the Synagoges,
which is called the Synagoge of the
Libertynes and Sirenytes, and of Alexandria,
and of Celicia, and of Asia, disputynge
with Steuen. noteAnd they coulde not resyste
the wisdome, ∧ the sprete, note which spake. &cross3;
Then sent they in men, which sayde: we
haue hearde hym speake blasphemous wordes
against Moses, and agaynst God. And
they moued the people &abar;d the elders and the
scribes: and came vp&obar; him and caught hym,
and brought him to the co&ubar;cell,
D and brought
forth false witnesse, which sayde: Thys man
ceaseth not to speake blasphemous wordes
against this holy place and the lawe: for we
heard him saye: this Iesus of Nazareth shal
destroye this place, and shal chaunge the ordinaunces,
which Moses gaue vs. And all
that sate in the counsell, loked stedfastly on
him, and sawe his face as it had bene the face
of an aungell.
