Acts 6:3 in Context — Acts 6
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.
5 E esta palavra foi do agrado diante de toda a multidão, e escolheram a Estêvão, homem cheio de fé e do Espírito Santo, e Filipe, Prócoro, Nicanor, Timom, Parmenas e a Nicolão, o prosélito de Antioquia.
