使 徒 行 傳 6
Chinese New Testament: Easy-to-Read Version
七个人去执行特殊的任务
6 当时，门徒的人数不断地增长着。讲希腊语的犹太人与讲阿拉米语的犹太人之间发生了争执，前者埋怨后者在日常的分配中忽视了他们的寡妇。 2 十二名使徒便把全体门徒召集到一起，对他们说∶“如果我们忽视传播上帝信息的工作，而去伺候膳食，是不对的。 3 所以，兄弟们，从你们中间选出七个以充满圣灵和智慧而有好名声的男子，我们让他们来负责这件事， 4 这样我们就可以专心致志地祷告和教导上帝之道了。”
5 这个建议令所有的人都非常满意。于是，他们选出了司提反（司提反是一个充满信仰和圣灵的人）、腓利 [a]、伯罗歌罗、尼迦挪、提门、巴米拿，和过去改信犹太教的安提阿人尼哥拉。 6 他们让这七个人站到了使徒们面前，使徒们把手放在他们身上 [b]，为他们做了祷告。
7 这样，上帝的话得以传播，耶路撒冷门徒的人数又大大地增加了。许多祭司也服从了这个信仰。
一些犹太人反对司提反
8 充满恩赐和力量的司提反，在人们中间行了许多了不起的奇事和神迹。 9 但是，一些来自被称为自由人会堂 [c]的人却反对他。这些犹太人是从古利奈、亚力山太，以及基利家和亚西亚等地来的犹太人。他们和司提反争吵起来。 10 但是，他们无法对抗他话里的智慧和圣灵，他是凭着它们在说话的， 11 于是他们就秘密地收买了一些人去说∶“我们听到司提反亵渎摩西和上帝！” 12 这些犹太人用这种方式煽动起人们、年长的犹太首领和律法师。他们便去抓住司提反，并把他带到了议会面前。 13 他们又带来假证人，他们说∶“这个家伙从末停止过亵渎圣所和律法。 14 因为，我们亲耳听到他说，拿撒勒的耶稣要毁掉这个地方，还要改变摩西传给我们的规矩。 15 这时，所有坐在议会的人都把目光集中到了司提反身上，他们看见，司提反的面容就像天使的脸。

Gevurot 6
Orthodox Jewish Bible
6 Now in these yamim of the Messianic talmidim being increased, there was a complaint by the Greekspeaking Yehudim keneged (against) the Sabra Yehudim mitzad (as to) their Greekspeaking Jewish almanot being overlooked in the daily support.
2 And the Sheneym Asar, having called the multitude of the talmidim together, said, "It is not desirable for us to neglect the dvar Hashem in order to serve tishen.
3 "But select from among you Achim b’Moshiach, that is, shivah anashim, being of shem tov (good reputation) and full of the Ruach Hakodesh and chochmah, whom we will appoint over this duty; [SHEMOT 18:21; NECHEMYAH 13:13]
4 "But we will be devoted to tefillah and to the avodas kodesh service of the Dvar of the Besuras HaGeulah."
5 And this dvar found approval before all the multitude and they chose Stefanos, a man full of emunah (faith) and of the Ruach Hakodesh, and they also chose Philippos and Prochorus and Nikanor and Timon and Parmenas and Nicholas, a ger (proselyte) of Antioch
6 Whom they placed before the Moshiach’s Shlichim. And having davened, Moshiach’s Shlichim gave them s’michah, laying their hands on them. [BAMIDBAR 8:10; 27:18]
7 And the Dvar Hashem was increasing, and the number of talmidim was being greatly multiplied in Yerushalayim, and a kama (quite a number) of the kohanim were obeying the [Orthodox Jewish Messianic] emunah (faith).
8 And Stefanos, full of the Chen v’Chesed Hashem and ko’ach (power), was effecting otot and moftim gedolim among the people.
9 But some of the men from the shul called the Beit Knesset of the Meshuchrarim (the Freedmen) and the Cyrenians and the Alexandrians, and the ones from Cilicia and Asia, rose up and argued with Stefanos,
10 And they were not able to contradict the chochmah and the Ruach Hakodesh with which he was speaking.
11 Then they secretly induced anashim to say, "We have heard him commit Chillul Hashem in the words he spoke keneged (against) Moshe Rabbenu and Hashem." [MELACHIM ALEF 21:10]
12 And they aroused the people and the Zekenim and the Sofrim and they came upon Stefanos and they seized him and they brought him to the Sanhedrin,
13 And edei sheker (false witnesses) swore falsely, saying, "This man is not ceasing to speak words keneged (against) Makom HaKadosh HaZeh and the Torah. [SHEMOT 23:1; TEHILLIM 27:12]
14 "For we have heard him saying that this Yehoshua from Natzeret will destroy this place [the Beis Hamikdash] and will change the chukim of the Torah which Moshe Rabbenu handed down to us."
15 And having stared intently at him, all the ones sitting in the Sanhedrin saw his ponem looking like the face of a malach.
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.
