Acts 6:2 in Context — Acts 6

1 En ce temps-là, le nombre des disciples augmentant, les Hellénistes murmurèrent contre les Hébreux, parce que leurs veuves étaient négligées dans la distribution qui se faisait chaque jour.

2 Les douze convoquèrent la multitude des disciples, et dirent: Il n’est pas convenable que nous laissions la parole de Dieu pour servir aux tables.

3 C’est pourquoi, frères, choisissez parmi vous sept hommes, de qui l’on rende un bon témoignage, qui soient pleins d’Esprit-Saint et de sagesse, et que nous chargerons de cet emploi.

4 Et nous, nous continuerons à nous appliquer à la prière et au ministère de la parole.
