Chap. VI.
By occasion of a murmur in the Church (vvhose number novv is so grovven that it can
not be numbred) Seuen of them being ordered by the Apostles in the holy order of
Deacons: 1 one of them, Steuen, worketh great miracles: and is by such as he
confounded in disputation, falsely accused in the Councel, of blasphemie against
the Temple and rites thereof.
1 And in those daies the numbre of disciples increasing,
there arose a09Q0879 murmurming of the
Greekes against the Hebrues, for that their
vvidovves vvere despised in the daily ministerie.
2 And the Tvvelue calling together the
multitude of the disciples, said, It is not reason, that vve leaue
the vvord of God, and serue tables.
3 Consider therfore brethren,
09Q0880 seuen men of you of good testimonie, ful of the
holy Ghost and vvisedom, vvhom vve may appoint ouer
this busines.
4 But vve vvil be instant in praier and the ministerie
of the vvord. note
5 And the saying vvas liked before al
the multitude. And they chose Steuen a man ful of faith and
of the holy Ghost, and Philippe, and Próchorus, and Nicánor,
and Timon, and Pármenas, and Nicolas a note stranger of
Antioche.
6 These they did set in the presence of the Apostles:
and praying they imposed handes vpon them.
7 And the
vvord of God increased, and the number of the disciples
vvas multiplied in Hierusalem excedingly: a great multitude
-- --
also of the note priests obeied the faith.
8 noteAnd Steuen ful of grace and fortitude did great vvonders
& signes among the people.
9 And there arose certaine
of that vvhich is called the Synagogue of the Libertines, and
of the Cyrenians, and of the Alexandrians, and of them that
vvere of Cilicia and Asia, disputing vvith Steuen:
10 and
they could not resist the vvisedom and the Spirit that spake.
11 Then they suborned men, to say they had heard him speake
vvordes of blasphemie against Moyses and God.
12 They
therfore stirred vp the people, and the Auncients, and the
Scribes: and running together they tooke him, and brought
him into the Councel,
13 and they set false vvitnesses that
said, This man ceaseth not to speake vvordes against the holy
place and the Lavv.
14 for vve haue heard him say, that this
same Iesvs of Nazareth shal destroy this place, and shal
change the traditions, vvhich Moyses deliuered vnto vs.
15 And al that sate in the Councel beholding him, savv his
face as it vvere note the face of an Angel.
