使徒行传 6
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
選出七位執事
6 門徒不斷增加的時候,講希臘話的猶太人,埋怨本地的希伯來人,因為在日常的供給上,忽略了他們的寡婦。 2 於是十二使徒召集了眾門徒,說:“要我們放下 神的道,去管理伙食,是不合適的。 3 所以弟兄們,應當從你們中間選出七個有好見證、滿有聖靈和智慧的人,我們就派他們負責這事。 4 至於我們,我們要專心祈禱、傳道。” 5 這個意見全會眾都很滿意,於是選出司提反,他是一位滿有信心和聖靈的人,還有腓利、伯羅哥羅、尼加挪、提門、巴米拿,以及歸信猶太教的安提阿人尼哥拉, 6 叫他們站在使徒面前。使徒禱告後,就為他們按手。 7 神的道傳開了;在耶路撒冷,門徒人數大大增加,有很多祭司也信從了真道。
司提反被捕
8 司提反滿有恩惠能力,在民間施行大奇事和神蹟。 9 當時有幾個稱為“自由人”會堂的人,就是從古利奈和亞歷山太來的人,另外還有基利家人和亞西亞人,他們出面與司提反辯論, 10 但司提反靠著聖靈和智慧說話,他們就抵擋不住。 11 於是他們唆使眾人,說:“我們聽過他說謗瀆摩西和 神的話。” 12 又煽動民眾、長老、經學家,這些人就來捉拿他,把他帶到公議會, 13 並且造了假的證供說:“這人不斷抨擊聖地和律法。 14 我們聽他說過:‘這拿撒勒人耶穌要毀壞這地方,改變摩西傳給我們的規例。’” 15 當時,坐在公議會裡的人,都注視他,見他的面貌像天使一樣。

Sju medhjälpare utses
6 Antalet lärjungar ökade vid den här tiden ständigt och det uppstod en del missnöje bland de grekisktalande judarna[a]; de anklagade de infödda judarna för att diskriminera deras änkor vid den dagliga matutdelningen. 2 De tolv kallade därför samman alla lärjungarna och sa: ”Det är inte rätt att vi försummar Guds ord för att sköta matutdelningen. 3 Låt oss därför, mina syskon, välja ut sju välrespekterade män, som är fyllda av Ande och vishet och som vi kan låta ta ansvar för den här uppgiften. 4 Då kan vi ägna oss åt bön och undervisning av budskapet.”
5 Alla som samlats ansåg att det var ett bra förslag och man valde ut Stefanos, en man som var fylld av tro och den heliga Anden, Filippos, Prochoros, Nikanor, Timon, Parmenas och Nikolaos från Antiochia, en proselyt.
6 Dessa sju fördes sedan fram till apostlarna som bad och lade händerna på dem.
7 Guds ord spreds nu till allt fler och antalet lärjungar i Jerusalem ökade kraftigt. Även många präster började tro.
Stefanos arresteras
8 Stefanos var fylld av nåd och kraft och han gjorde stora under och tecken bland folket.
9 Då började några män från en synagoga som kallades ”De frigivnas” diskutera med Stefanos. Det var judar från Kyrene och Alexandria och även från provinserna Kilikien och Asien. 10 Men ingen av dem kunde hävda sig mot den vishet och Ande som fanns i hans tal. 11 De övertalade därför i hemlighet några män att de skulle ljuga om Stefanos att de hört honom tala nedsättande om Mose och Gud.
12 Så lyckades de hetsa upp folket och folkets ledare och de skriftlärda som grep Stefanos och förde honom inför det judiska rådet. 13 Där fortsatte de falska vittnena med att säga: ”Den här mannen talar ständigt illa om denna heliga plats och lagen. 14 Vi har själva hört honom säga att den där Jesus från Nasaret ska förstöra templet och ändra de traditioner vi har fått från Mose.”
15 Alla i rådssalen såg mycket noga på Stefanos och de tyckte att hans ansikte var som en ängels.

The Choosing of the Seven
6 In those days when the number of disciples was increasing,(A) the Hellenistic Jews[a](B) among them complained against the Hebraic Jews because their widows(C) were being overlooked in the daily distribution of food.(D) 2 So the Twelve gathered all the disciples(E) together and said, “It would not be right for us to neglect the ministry of the word of God(F) in order to wait on tables. 3 Brothers and sisters,(G) choose seven men from among you who are known to be full of the Spirit(H) and wisdom. We will turn this responsibility over to them(I) 4 and will give our attention to prayer(J) and the ministry of the word.”
5 This proposal pleased the whole group. They chose Stephen,(K) a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit;(L) also Philip,(M) Procorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and Nicolas from Antioch, a convert to Judaism. 6 They presented these men to the apostles, who prayed(N) and laid their hands on them.(O)
7 So the word of God spread.(P) The number of disciples in Jerusalem increased rapidly,(Q) and a large number of priests became obedient to the faith.
Stephen Seized
8 Now Stephen, a man full of God’s grace and power, performed great wonders and signs(R) among the people. 9 Opposition arose, however, from members of the Synagogue of the Freedmen (as it was called)—Jews of Cyrene(S) and Alexandria as well as the provinces of Cilicia(T) and Asia(U)—who began to argue with Stephen. 10 But they could not stand up against the wisdom the Spirit gave him as he spoke.(V)
11 Then they secretly(W) persuaded some men to say, “We have heard Stephen speak blasphemous words against Moses and against God.”(X)
12 So they stirred up the people and the elders and the teachers of the law. They seized Stephen and brought him before the Sanhedrin.(Y) 13 They produced false witnesses,(Z) who testified, “This fellow never stops speaking against this holy place(AA) and against the law. 14 For we have heard him say that this Jesus of Nazareth will destroy this place(AB) and change the customs Moses handed down to us.”(AC)
15 All who were sitting in the Sanhedrin(AD) looked intently at Stephen, and they saw that his face was like the face of an angel.

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.
