DAY 6AC-5:40 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. AC-5:41 And they departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for his name. AC-5:42 And daily in the temple, and in every house, they ceased not to teach and preach Jesus Christ. *AC-6:1 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. AC-6:2 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. AC-6:3 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. AC-6:4 But we will give ourselves continually to prayer, and to the ministry of the word. AC-6:5 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: AC-6:6 Whom they set before the apostles: and when they had prayed, they laid [their] hands on them. AC-6:7 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. AC-6:8 And Stephen, full of faith and power, did great wonders and miracles among the people. AC-6:9 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. AC-6:10 And they were not able to resist the wisdom and the spirit by which he spake. AC-6:11 Then they suborned men, which said, We have heard him speak blasphemous words against Moses, and [against] God. AC-6:12 And they stirred up the people, and the elders, and the scribes, and came upon [him], and caught him, and brought [him] to the council, AC-6:13 And set up false witnesses, which said, This man ceaseth not to speak blasphemous words against this holy place, and the law: AC-6:14 For we have heard him say, that this Jesus of Nazareth shall destroy this place, and shall change the customs which Moses delivered us. AC-6:15 And all that sat in the council, looking stedfastly on him, saw his face as it had been the face of an angel. *AC-7:1 Then said the high priest, Are these things so? AC-7:2 And he said, Men, brethren, and fathers, hearken; The God of glory appeared unto our father Abraham, when he was in Mesopotamia, before he dwelt in Charran, AC-7:3 And said unto him, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and come into the land which I shall show thee. AC-7:4 Then came he out of the land of the Chaldaeans, and dwelt in Charran: and from thence, when his father was dead, he removed him into this land, wherein ye now dwell. AC-7:5 And he gave him none inheritance in it, no, not [so much as] to set his foot on: yet he promised that he would give it to him for a possession, and to his seed after him, when [as yet] he had no child. AC-7:6 And God spake on this wise, That his seed should sojourn in a strange land; and that they should bring them into bondage, and entreat [them] evil four hundred years. AC-7:7 And the nation to whom they shall be in bondage will I judge, said God: and after that shall they come forth, and serve me in this place. AC-7:8 And he gave him the covenant of circumcision: and so [Abraham] begat Isaac, and circumcised him the eighth day; and Isaac [begat] Jacob; and Jacob [begat] the twelve patriarchs. AC-7:9 And the patriarchs, moved with envy, sold Joseph into Egypt: but God was with him, AC-7:10 And delivered him out of all his afflictions, and gave him favour and wisdom in the sight of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and he made him governor over Egypt and all his house. AC-7:11 Now there came a dearth over all the land of Egypt and Chanaan, and great affliction: and our fathers found no sustenance. AC-7:12 But when Jacob heard that there was corn in Egypt, he sent out our fathers first. |
