1 Naqueles dias, ao se multiplicar [o número] de discípulos, houve uma murmuração dos gregos contra os hebreus, de que suas viúvas estavam sendo desprezadas no serviço diário [de entrega de comida] .

2 E os doze, chamando à multidão dos discípulos, disseram: Não é bom que nós deixemos a palavra de Deus para servirmos às mesas.

3 Portanto, irmãos, buscai sete homens dentre vós, de quem haja [bom] testemunho, cheios do Espírito Santo e de sabedoria, aos quais constituamos sobre esta importante tarefa.

4 Nós, porém, perseveraremos na oração e no serviço da palavra.
