Acts 6:2-6

²convocantes autem duodecim multitudinem discipulorum dixerunt non est aequum nos derelinquere verbum Dei et ministrare mensisa

³considerate ergo fratres viros ex vobis boni testimonii septem plenos Spiritu et sapientia quos constituamus super hoc opusb

⁴nos vero orationi et ministerio verbi instantes erimusc

⁵et placuit sermo coram omni multitudine et elegerunt Stephanum virum plenum fide et Spiritu Sancto et Philippum et Prochorum et Nicanorem et Timonem et Parmenam et Nicolaum advenam Antiochenum

⁶hos statuerunt ante conspectum apostolorum et orantes inposuerunt eis manus

Acts 6 marks a critical transition in the early church: the first internal administrative crisis. As the number of disciples multiplies, a complaint arises from the Hellenistic (Greek-speaking) Jewish believers that their widows are being overlooked in the daily distribution of food
