6:3 所以弟兄們,當從你們中間選出七個有好名聲,被圣靈充滿,智慧充足的人,我們就派他們管理這事。
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.
6:4 但我們要專心以祈禱傳道為事。

6:6 叫他們站在使徒面前。使徒禱告了,就按手在他們頭上。

6:7 神的道興旺起來。在耶路撒冷門徒數目加增的甚多。也有許多祭司信從了這道。
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.
6:8 司提反滿得恩惠能力,在民間行了大奇事和神跡。
And Stephen, full of faith and power, did great wonders and miracles among the people.
6:9 當時有稱利百地拿會堂的幾個人,并有古利奈,亞力山太,基利家,亞細亞,各處會堂的幾個人,都起來,和司提反辯論。
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.

And all that sat in the council, looking stedfastly on him, saw his face as it had been the face of an angel.
