使徒行传 6
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
選出七位執事
6 門徒不斷增加的時候，講希臘話的猶太人，埋怨本地的希伯來人，因為在日常的供給上，忽略了他們的寡婦。 2 於是十二使徒召集了眾門徒，說：“要我們放下 神的道，去管理伙食，是不合適的。 3 所以弟兄們，應當從你們中間選出七個有好見證、滿有聖靈和智慧的人，我們就派他們負責這事。 4 至於我們，我們要專心祈禱、傳道。” 5 這個意見全會眾都很滿意，於是選出司提反，他是一位滿有信心和聖靈的人，還有腓利、伯羅哥羅、尼加挪、提門、巴米拿，以及歸信猶太教的安提阿人尼哥拉， 6 叫他們站在使徒面前。使徒禱告後，就為他們按手。 7 神的道傳開了；在耶路撒冷，門徒人數大大增加，有很多祭司也信從了真道。
司提反被捕
8 司提反滿有恩惠能力，在民間施行大奇事和神蹟。 9 當時有幾個稱為“自由人”會堂的人，就是從古利奈和亞歷山太來的人，另外還有基利家人和亞西亞人，他們出面與司提反辯論， 10 但司提反靠著聖靈和智慧說話，他們就抵擋不住。 11 於是他們唆使眾人，說：“我們聽過他說謗瀆摩西和 神的話。” 12 又煽動民眾、長老、經學家，這些人就來捉拿他，把他帶到公議會， 13 並且造了假的證供說：“這人不斷抨擊聖地和律法。 14 我們聽他說過：‘這拿撒勒人耶穌要毀壞這地方，改變摩西傳給我們的規例。’” 15 當時，坐在公議會裡的人，都注視他，見他的面貌像天使一樣。
Acts 6
Worldwide English (New Testament)
6 At that time more and more people joined the disciples. Then there was trouble about a certain matter. The Jews who spoke the Greek language complained against the other Jews. They said that each day when the food was being divided, their women whose husbands were dead did not get their part.
2 Then the twelve apostles called all of the disciples together. They said, `It is not right for us to stop preaching God's word to divide the food.
3 So then, brothers, you choose seven men who you know are good men. Choose men who are full of the Holy Spirit and are wise. We will give them the work to divide the food.
4 But we ourselves will keep on talking with God and telling his word.'
5 This pleased all the people. The men they chose were Stephen, a man who believed God and was full of the Holy Spirit, Philip, Prochorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and Nicolaus from Antioch who had joined the Jews.
6 These men were brought before the apostles. When the apostles had talked with God, they put their hands on their heads [to bless them].
7 The word of God spread further and further, and many people in Jerusalem believed. Many of the priests also believed.
8 Stephen received much blessing and power from God. He did many wonderful things and signs among the people.
9 But some of the Jews argued with Stephen, and said he was wrong. (They belonged to the meeting place of the Free Men. They were Jews who came from Cyrene, Alexandria, Cilicia and Asia Minor.) They did not agree with Stephen.
10 But they could not say anything against his wise words and the Spirit by whom he spoke.
11 So they paid some people to say, `We have heard him say wrong things about Moses and God.'
12 They talked to the people, the leaders, and the scribes, and made them angry. They went quickly and caught Stephen and took him into the court.
13 They brought in the men who told lies about him. They said, `This man is always saying wrong things about this holy place and the laws.
14 We have heard him say that this Jesus of Nazareth will break down this place and that he will change the law which Moses gave us.'
15 Then all the judges who sat in the court looked at him and they saw that his face was like the face of an angel.
Acts 6
King James Version
6 And in those days, when the number of the disciples was multiplied, there arose a murmuring of the Grecians against the Hebrews, because their widows were neglected in the daily ministration.
2 Then the twelve called the multitude of the disciples unto them, and said, It is not reason that we should leave the word of God, and serve tables.
3 Wherefore, brethren, look ye out among you seven men of honest report, full of the Holy Ghost and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business.
4 But we 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, a man full of faith and of the Holy Ghost, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolas a proselyte of Antioch:
6 Whom they set before the apostles: and when they had prayed, they laid their hands on them.
7 And the word of God increased; and the number of the disciples multiplied in Jerusalem greatly; and a great company of the priests were obedient to the faith.
8 And Stephen, full of faith and power, did great wonders and miracles among the people.
9 Then there arose certain of the synagogue, which is called the synagogue of the Libertines, and Cyrenians, and Alexandrians, and of them of Cilicia and of Asia, disputing with Stephen.
10 And they were not able to resist the wisdom and the spirit by which he spake.
11 Then they suborned men, which said, We have heard him speak blasphemous words against Moses, and against God.
12 And they stirred up the people, and the elders, and the scribes, and came upon him, and caught him, and brought him to the council,
13 And set up false witnesses, which said, This man ceaseth not to speak blasphemous words against this holy place, and the law:
14 For we have heard him say, that this Jesus of Nazareth shall destroy this place, and shall change the customs which Moses delivered us.
15 And all that sat in the council, looking stedfastly on him, saw his face as it had been the face of an angel.

Chinese Standard Bible (Traditional)
選出七位執事
6 在那些日子裡，門徒增多。說希臘語的猶太人抱怨那些說希伯來語的猶太人，因為他們的寡婦在每日的服事[a]上被忽略了。 2 於是十二使徒[b]召來全體門徒，說：「我們撇下神的話語[c]，去管理飯食，是不妥當的。 3 所以弟兄們，要從你們當中挑選七個有好名聲、充滿聖靈和智慧的人；我們就委任他們統管這事務。 4 這樣，我們將可專心於禱告和福音[d]的服事工作。」 5 這話使全體會眾都喜悅，於是選出了司提反——他是一個充滿信仰和聖靈的人，還有腓利、普羅克羅、尼卡諾、提門、帕米納，以及入猶太教的安提阿人尼古拉斯。 6 他們請這些人站在使徒們面前，使徒們就禱告，按手在他們身上。
7 這樣，神的話語[e]不斷擴展[f]，在耶路撒冷門徒的人數大大增多，並且有一大群祭司也聽從了這信仰。
司提反被捕
8 司提反滿有恩惠[g]和能力，在民間行了許多大奇事和神蹟。 9 可是一些來自稱為「自由人」會堂的人，包括一些古利奈人、亞歷山大人，還有來自奇里乞亞省和亞細亞省的人，起來與司提反辯論， 10 但司提反以智慧和聖靈說話，他們就抵擋不住。
11 於是他們暗中唆使人說：「我們聽過這個人針對摩西和神說褻瀆的話語。」 12 他們又煽動民眾、長老和經文士們就忽然來抓住司提反，把他帶到議會， 13 並且推出假見證人說：「這個人不斷地說褻瀆神的話語，反對這聖所[h]和律法[i]。 14 我們曾聽到他說，這個拿撒勒人耶穌要拆毀這地方[j]，也要改變摩西傳給我們的規矩。」 15 所有坐在議會裡的人都注視著司提反，看見他的面容好像天使的面容。
