Acts 6:6-8

Living Bible

⁶ These seven were presented to the apostles, who prayed for them and laid their hands on them in blessing.

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.
