Деяния 6
Библия, нов превод от оригиналните езици (с неканоничните книги)
Избиране на седем дякони
6 В тези дни, когато учениците ставаха все повече, възникна недоволство сред елинистите против евреите, понеже вдовиците им били пренебрегвани при разпределяне на всекидневните дажби. 2 Тогава дванадесетте апостоли свикаха цялото множество ученици и казаха: „Не е добре ние да изоставим Божието слово и да се грижим за трапезите. 3 Затова, братя, изберете измежду вас седем души с добро име, изпълнени със Светия Дух и с мъдрост, които ще поставим на тази служба, 4 а ние постоянно ще пребъдваме в молитвата и в служението на словото.“ 5 (A)Това предложение се понрави на цялото множество. И избраха Стефан, мъж изпълнен с вяра и Светия Дух, Филип, Прохор, Никанор, Тимон, Пармен и Николай, прозелит от Антиохия. 6 (B)Тях поставиха пред апостолите, които се помолиха и възложиха ръце върху тях. 7 (C)И тъй, Божието слово се разпространяваше и броят на учениците растеше твърде много в Йерусалим. Мнозина от свещениците също приемаха вярата.
Архидякон Стефан на съд пред синедриона
8 (D)А Стефан, изпълнен с вяра[a] и сила, вършеше големи чудеса и знамения сред народа. 9 Но някои от тъй наречената синагога на либертинците, а също киринейци и александрийци, юдеи от Киликия и Азия, влязоха в спор със Стефан, 10 (E)но не можеха да противостоят на мъдростта и на духа, с който той говореше. 11 Тогава подучиха няколко души да кажат: „Чухме го да говори хулни думи против Мойсей и Бога.“ 12 Така те подбудиха народа, стареите и книжниците и като го нападнаха, грабнаха го и го заведоха в синедриона. 13 (F)Представиха и лъжливи свидетели, които казваха: „Този човек не престава да говори хулни думи против това свято място[b] и закона. 14 (G)Чухме го да казва, че Този Иисус Назорей ще разруши това място и ще промени обичаите, които ни е предал Мойсей.“ 15 И всички, които седяха в синедриона, се вгледаха в него и видяха, че лицето му сияе като лице на ангел.
Acts 6
King James Version
6 And in those days, when the number of the disciples was multiplied, there arose a murmuring of the Grecians against the Hebrews, because their widows were neglected in the daily ministration.
2 Then the twelve called the multitude of the disciples unto them, and said, It is not reason that we should leave the word of God, and serve tables.
3 Wherefore, brethren, look ye out among you seven men of honest report, full of the Holy Ghost and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business.
4 But we will give ourselves continually to prayer, and to the ministry of the word.
5 And the saying pleased the whole multitude: and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Ghost, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolas a proselyte of Antioch:
6 Whom they set before the apostles: and when they had prayed, they laid their hands on them.
7 And the word of God increased; and the number of the disciples multiplied in Jerusalem greatly; and a great company of the priests were obedient to the faith.
8 And Stephen, full of faith and power, did great wonders and miracles among the people.
9 Then there arose certain of the synagogue, which is called the synagogue of the Libertines, and Cyrenians, and Alexandrians, and of them of Cilicia and of Asia, disputing with Stephen.
10 And they were not able to resist the wisdom and the spirit by which he spake.
11 Then they suborned men, which said, We have heard him speak blasphemous words against Moses, and against God.
12 And they stirred up the people, and the elders, and the scribes, and came upon him, and caught him, and brought him to the council,
13 And set up false witnesses, which said, This man ceaseth not to speak blasphemous words against this holy place, and the law:
14 For we have heard him say, that this Jesus of Nazareth shall destroy this place, and shall change the customs which Moses delivered us.
15 And all that sat in the council, looking stedfastly on him, saw his face as it had been the face of an angel.
Acts 6
English Standard Version
Seven Chosen to Serve
6 Now in these days (A)when the disciples were increasing in number, a complaint by the Hellenists[a] arose against the Hebrews because their widows were being neglected in (B)the daily distribution. 2 And the twelve summoned the full number of the disciples and said, “It is not right that we should give up preaching the word of God to serve tables. 3 (C)Therefore, brothers,[b] pick out from among you seven men (D)of good repute, (E)full of the Spirit and of wisdom, whom we will appoint to this duty. 4 But (F)we will devote ourselves to prayer and to the ministry of the word.” 5 And what they said pleased the whole gathering, and they chose Stephen, (G)a man full of faith and (H)of the Holy Spirit, and (I)Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolaus, (J)a proselyte of Antioch. 6 These they set before the apostles, and (K)they prayed and (L)laid their hands on them.
7 And (M)the word of God continued to increase, and the number of the disciples multiplied greatly in Jerusalem, and a great many of the priests (N)became obedient to (O)the faith.
Stephen Is Seized
8 And Stephen, full of grace and (P)power, was doing great wonders and signs among the people. 9 Then some of those who belonged to the synagogue of the Freedmen (as it was called), and of the Cyrenians, and of the Alexandrians, and of those from Cilicia and Asia, rose up and disputed with Stephen. 10 But (Q)they could not withstand the wisdom and the Spirit with which he was speaking. 11 Then (R)they secretly instigated men who said, “We have heard him speak blasphemous words against Moses and God.” 12 And they stirred up the people and the elders and the scribes, and they came upon him and seized him and brought him before the council, 13 and they (S)set up false (T)witnesses who said, “This man never ceases to speak words against (U)this holy place and the law, 14 for we have heard him say that this Jesus of Nazareth (V)will destroy this place and will (W)change (X)the customs that Moses delivered to us.” 15 And gazing at him, all who sat in the council saw that his face (Y)was like the face of an angel.
