Then the Twelve called the general body of the disciples together, and said to them. "It is not fitting for us to leave off preaching the Word of God, and minister at tables.

"So, brothers, find from among your own number seven men of good reputation who are full of the Spirit and of wisdom, and we will appoint them over this business.

4 Nuni gidiko wossanine qaala yooton minnana.

"But we will give ourselves to prayer and to the ministry of the Word."

Meanwhile Stephen, full of grace and power, wrought great wonders and signs among the people.

But certain men from the so-called "Synagogue of the Freedmen" and certain Cyrenians, and Alexandrians, Cilicians, and men from Roman Asia, started to dispute with Stephen,

Then they instigated some to say, "We have heard him speaking blasphemy against Moses and against God;" and in this way they excited the people.
