Acts 5:27-6:7
English Standard Version
27 And when they had brought them, they set them before the council. And the high priest questioned them, 28 saying, (A)“We strictly charged you not to teach in this name, yet here you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and you (B)intend to bring this man's blood upon us.” 29 But Peter and the apostles answered, (C)“We must obey God rather than men. 30 (D)The God of our fathers (E)raised Jesus, (F)whom you killed by hanging him on (G)a tree. 31 God exalted (H)him at his right hand as (I)Leader and (J)Savior, (K)to give (L)repentance to Israel and (M)forgiveness of sins. 32 And (N)we are witnesses to these things, and (O)so is the Holy Spirit, (P)whom God has given to those who obey him.”
33 When they heard this, they (Q)were enraged and wanted to kill them. 34 But a Pharisee in the council named (R)Gamaliel, (S)a teacher of the law held in honor by all the people, stood up and gave orders to put the men outside for a little while. 35 And he said to them, “Men of Israel, take care what you are about to do with these men. 36 For (T)before these days Theudas rose up, (U)claiming to be somebody, and a number of men, about four hundred, joined him. He was killed, and all who followed him were dispersed and came to nothing. 37 After him Judas the Galilean rose up in the days of (V)the census and drew away some of the people after him. He too perished, and all who followed him were scattered. 38 So in the present case I tell you, keep away from these men and let them alone, for (W)if this plan or this undertaking is of man, it will fail; 39 but (X)if it is of God, you will not be able to overthrow them. You (Y)might even be found opposing God!” So they took his advice, 40 and (Z)when they had called in the apostles, (AA)they beat them and charged them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go. 41 Then they left the presence of the council, (AB)rejoicing that they were counted worthy (AC)to suffer dishonor for (AD)the name. 42 And every day, (AE)in the temple and from house to house, they did not cease teaching and (AF)preaching (AG)that the Christ is Jesus.
Seven Chosen to Serve
6 Now in these days (AH)when the disciples were increasing in number, a complaint by the Hellenists[a] arose against the Hebrews because their widows were being neglected in (AI)the daily distribution. 2 And the twelve summoned the full number of the disciples and said, “It is not right that we should give up preaching the word of God to serve tables. 3 (AJ)Therefore, brothers,[b] pick out from among you seven men (AK)of good repute, (AL)full of the Spirit and of wisdom, whom we will appoint to this duty. 4 But (AM)we will devote ourselves to prayer and to the ministry of the word.” 5 And what they said pleased the whole gathering, and they chose Stephen, (AN)a man full of faith and (AO)of the Holy Spirit, and (AP)Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolaus, (AQ)a proselyte of Antioch. 6 These they set before the apostles, and (AR)they prayed and (AS)laid their hands on them.
7 And (AT)the word of God continued to increase, and the number of the disciples multiplied greatly in Jerusalem, and a great many of the priests (AU)became obedient to (AV)the faith.

27 The apostles were brought in and made to appear before the Sanhedrin(A) to be questioned by the high priest. 28 “We gave you strict orders not to teach in this name,”(B) he said. “Yet you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching and are determined to make us guilty of this man’s blood.”(C)
29 Peter and the other apostles replied: “We must obey God rather than human beings!(D) 30 The God of our ancestors(E) raised Jesus from the dead(F)—whom you killed by hanging him on a cross.(G) 31 God exalted him to his own right hand(H) as Prince and Savior(I) that he might bring Israel to repentance and forgive their sins.(J) 32 We are witnesses of these things,(K) and so is the Holy Spirit,(L) whom God has given to those who obey him.”
33 When they heard this, they were furious(M) and wanted to put them to death. 34 But a Pharisee named Gamaliel,(N) a teacher of the law,(O) who was honored by all the people, stood up in the Sanhedrin and ordered that the men be put outside for a little while. 35 Then he addressed the Sanhedrin: “Men of Israel, consider carefully what you intend to do to these men. 36 Some time ago Theudas appeared, claiming to be somebody, and about four hundred men rallied to him. He was killed, all his followers were dispersed, and it all came to nothing. 37 After him, Judas the Galilean appeared in the days of the census(P) and led a band of people in revolt. He too was killed, and all his followers were scattered. 38 Therefore, in the present case I advise you: Leave these men alone! Let them go! For if their purpose or activity is of human origin, it will fail.(Q) 39 But if it is from God, you will not be able to stop these men; you will only find yourselves fighting against God.”(R)
40 His speech persuaded them. They called the apostles in and had them flogged.(S) Then they ordered them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go.
41 The apostles left the Sanhedrin, rejoicing(T) because they had been counted worthy of suffering disgrace for the Name.(U) 42 Day after day, in the temple courts(V) and from house to house, they never stopped teaching and proclaiming the good news(W) that Jesus is the Messiah.(X)
The Choosing of the Seven
6 In those days when the number of disciples was increasing,(Y) the Hellenistic Jews[a](Z) among them complained against the Hebraic Jews because their widows(AA) were being overlooked in the daily distribution of food.(AB) 2 So the Twelve gathered all the disciples(AC) together and said, “It would not be right for us to neglect the ministry of the word of God(AD) in order to wait on tables. 3 Brothers and sisters,(AE) choose seven men from among you who are known to be full of the Spirit(AF) and wisdom. We will turn this responsibility over to them(AG) 4 and will give our attention to prayer(AH) and the ministry of the word.”
5 This proposal pleased the whole group. They chose Stephen,(AI) a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit;(AJ) also Philip,(AK) Procorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and Nicolas from Antioch, a convert to Judaism. 6 They presented these men to the apostles, who prayed(AL) and laid their hands on them.(AM)
7 So the word of God spread.(AN) The number of disciples in Jerusalem increased rapidly,(AO) and a large number of priests became obedient to the faith.

Acts 5:27-6:7
King James Version
27 And when they had brought them, they set them before the council: and the high priest asked them,
28 Saying, Did not we straitly command you that ye should not teach in this name? and, behold, ye have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and intend to bring this man's blood upon us.
29 Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men.
30 The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew and hanged on a tree.
31 Him hath God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins.
32 And we are his witnesses of these things; and so is also the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey him.
33 When they heard that, they were cut to the heart, and took counsel to slay them.
34 Then stood there up one in the council, a Pharisee, named Gamaliel, a doctor of the law, had in reputation among all the people, and commanded to put the apostles forth a little space;
35 And said unto them, Ye men of Israel, take heed to yourselves what ye intend to do as touching these men.
36 For before these days rose up Theudas, boasting himself to be somebody; to whom a number of men, about four hundred, joined themselves: who was slain; and all, as many as obeyed him, were scattered, and brought to nought.
37 After this man rose up Judas of Galilee in the days of the taxing, and drew away much people after him: he also perished; and all, even as many as obeyed him, were dispersed.
38 And now I say unto you, Refrain from these men, and let them alone: for if this counsel or this work be of men, it will come to nought:
39 But if it be of God, ye cannot overthrow it; lest haply ye be found even to fight against God.
40 And to him they agreed: and when they had called the apostles, and beaten them, they commanded that they should not speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go.
41 And they departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for his name.
42 And daily in the temple, and in every house, they ceased not to teach and preach Jesus Christ.
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.
