Acts 6

A dispute arises between Hellenists and Hebrews over the neglect of Hellenistic widows in daily food distribution; the apostles appoint seven men—Στέφανος (Stephen), Philip, Prochorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and Nicolas (a proselyte from Antioch)—full of the Spirit and wisdom to serve tables, freeing apostles for prayer and the ministry of the word, leading to church growth.[1][2] Stephen, full of faith and power, performs great wonders and signs, but opponents from the Synagogue of the Freedmen dispute with him unsuccessfully, then incite false witnesses accusing him of blasphemy against Moses, God, the temple, and the law, resulting in his arrest before the council.[1][2]
