Acts 6:2-4

Expanded Bible

² The ·twelve apostles [Twelve] called the whole group of ·followers [^Ldisciples] together and said, “It is not right for us to ·stop our work of teaching God’s word [^Lleave/abandon the word of God] in order to serve tables. ³ So, ·brothers and sisters [or brothers; ^Cuncertain whether women would have been included in that culture], choose seven of your own men who ·are good [have a good reputation], full of the Spirit and full of wisdom. We will ·put [appoint] them in charge of this ·work [responsibility; ^Lneed]. ⁴ Then we [apostles] can ·continue [devote ourselves] to pray and to ·teach [^Lthe ministry/service of] the word of God.”
