Acts 6:7-9

Living Bible

⁷ God’s message was preached in ever-widening circles, and the number of disciples increased vastly in Jerusalem; and many of the Jewish priests were converted too.

⁸ Stephen, the man so full of faith and the Holy Spirit’s power,^[a] did spectacular miracles among the people.

⁹ But one day some of the men from the Jewish cult of “The Freedmen” started an argument with him, and they were soon joined by Jews from Cyrene, Alexandria in Egypt, and the Turkish provinces of Cilicia, and Asia Minor.
