Sete auxiliares para os apóstolos
6 Algum tempo depois, o número de judeus que se tornaram seguidores de Jesus aumentou muito, e os que tinham sido criados fora da terra de Israel começaram a se queixar dos que tinham sido criados em Israel. A queixa deles era que as viúvas do seu grupo estavam sendo esquecidas na distribuição diária de dinheiro. 2 Então os doze apóstolos reuniram todo o grupo de seguidores e disseram:
— Não está certo nós deixarmos de anunciar a palavra de Deus para tratarmos de dinheiro. 3 Por isso, irmãos, escolham entre vocês sete homens de confiança, cheios do Espírito Santo e de sabedoria, e nós entregaremos esse serviço a eles. 4 Assim nós poderemos continuar usando todo o nosso tempo na oração e no trabalho de anunciar a palavra de Deus.
5 Todos concordaram com a proposta dos apóstolos. Então escolheram Estêvão, um homem cheio de fé e do Espírito Santo, e também Filipe, Prócoro, Nicanor, Timom, Pármenas e Nicolau de Antioquia, um não judeu que antes tinha se convertido ao Judaísmo. 6 Esses homens foram levados aos apóstolos, que oraram e puseram as mãos sobre a cabeça deles.
7 A palavra de Deus continuava a se espalhar. Em Jerusalém o número dos seguidores de Jesus crescia cada vez mais, e era grande o número de sacerdotes judeus que aceitavam a fé cristã.
A prisão de Estêvão
8 Estêvão, um homem muito abençoado por Deus e cheio de poder, fazia grandes maravilhas e milagres entre o povo. 9 Mas ficaram contra ele alguns membros da “Sinagoga dos Homens Livres”, que era a sinagoga dos judeus que tinham vindo das cidades de Cirene e Alexandria. Estes e outros judeus da região da Cilícia e da província da Ásia começaram a discutir com Estêvão. 10 Mas o Espírito de Deus dava tanta sabedoria a Estêvão, que ele ganhava todas as discussões. 11 Então eles pagaram algumas pessoas para dizerem:
— Nós ouvimos este homem dizer blasfêmias contra Moisés e contra Deus!
12 Dessa maneira eles atiçaram o povo, os líderes e os mestres da Lei. Depois foram, agarraram Estêvão e o levaram ao Conselho Superior. 13 Então arranjaram alguns homens para dizerem mentiras a respeito dele. Essas pessoas afirmaram o seguinte:
— Este homem não para de falar contra o nosso santo Templo e contra a Lei de Moisés. 14 Nós o ouvimos quando ele dizia que esse Jesus de Nazaré vai destruir o Templo e mudar todos os costumes que Moisés nos deu.
15 Todos os que estavam sentados na sala do Conselho Superior olhavam firmemente para Estêvão e viram que o rosto dele parecia o rosto de um anjo.

The Choosing of the Seven
6 In those days when the number of disciples was increasing,(A) the Hellenistic Jews[a](B) among them complained against the Hebraic Jews because their widows(C) were being overlooked in the daily distribution of food.(D) 2 So the Twelve gathered all the disciples(E) together and said, “It would not be right for us to neglect the ministry of the word of God(F) in order to wait on tables. 3 Brothers and sisters,(G) choose seven men from among you who are known to be full of the Spirit(H) and wisdom. We will turn this responsibility over to them(I) 4 and will give our attention to prayer(J) and the ministry of the word.”
5 This proposal pleased the whole group. They chose Stephen,(K) a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit;(L) also Philip,(M) Procorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and Nicolas from Antioch, a convert to Judaism. 6 They presented these men to the apostles, who prayed(N) and laid their hands on them.(O)
7 So the word of God spread.(P) The number of disciples in Jerusalem increased rapidly,(Q) and a large number of priests became obedient to the faith.
Stephen Seized
8 Now Stephen, a man full of God’s grace and power, performed great wonders and signs(R) among the people. 9 Opposition arose, however, from members of the Synagogue of the Freedmen (as it was called)—Jews of Cyrene(S) and Alexandria as well as the provinces of Cilicia(T) and Asia(U)—who began to argue with Stephen. 10 But they could not stand up against the wisdom the Spirit gave him as he spoke.(V)
11 Then they secretly(W) persuaded some men to say, “We have heard Stephen speak blasphemous words against Moses and against God.”(X)
12 So they stirred up the people and the elders and the teachers of the law. They seized Stephen and brought him before the Sanhedrin.(Y) 13 They produced false witnesses,(Z) who testified, “This fellow never stops speaking against this holy place(AA) and against the law. 14 For we have heard him say that this Jesus of Nazareth will destroy this place(AB) and change the customs Moses handed down to us.”(AC)
15 All who were sitting in the Sanhedrin(AD) looked intently at Stephen, and they saw that his face was like the face of an angel.

Seven Chosen to Serve
6 Now in these days (A)when the disciples were increasing in number, a complaint by the Hellenists[a] arose against the Hebrews because their widows were being neglected in (B)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 (C)Therefore, brothers,[b] pick out from among you seven men (D)of good repute, (E)full of the Spirit and of wisdom, whom we will appoint to this duty. 4 But (F)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, (G)a man full of faith and (H)of the Holy Spirit, and (I)Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolaus, (J)a proselyte of Antioch. 6 These they set before the apostles, and (K)they prayed and (L)laid their hands on them.
7 And (M)the word of God continued to increase, and the number of the disciples multiplied greatly in Jerusalem, and a great many of the priests (N)became obedient to (O)the faith.
Stephen Is Seized
8 And Stephen, full of grace and (P)power, was doing great wonders and signs among the people. 9 Then some of those who belonged to the synagogue of the Freedmen (as it was called), and of the Cyrenians, and of the Alexandrians, and of those from Cilicia and Asia, rose up and disputed with Stephen. 10 But (Q)they could not withstand the wisdom and the Spirit with which he was speaking. 11 Then (R)they secretly instigated men who said, “We have heard him speak blasphemous words against Moses and God.” 12 And they stirred up the people and the elders and the scribes, and they came upon him and seized him and brought him before the council, 13 and they (S)set up false (T)witnesses who said, “This man never ceases to speak words against (U)this holy place and the law, 14 for we have heard him say that this Jesus of Nazareth (V)will destroy this place and will (W)change (X)the customs that Moses delivered to us.” 15 And gazing at him, all who sat in the council saw that his face (Y)was like the face of an angel.
