Acts 6:3-6

New King James Version

³ Therefore, brethren, ^(A)seek out from among you seven men of good reputation, full of the Holy Spirit and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this ^(B)business; ⁴ but we ^(C)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, ^(D)a man full of faith and the Holy Spirit, and ^(E)Philip, Prochorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and ^(F)Nicolas, a proselyte from Antioch, ⁶ whom they set before the apostles; and ^(G)when they had prayed, ^(H)they laid hands on them.
