Acts 6

1 But in those days, the disciples multiplying in number, there arose a murmuring of the Hellenists against the Hebrews because their widows were overlooked in the daily ministration.

In those dayes as the nombre of the disciples grewe ther arose a grudge amonge the Grekes agaynst the Ebrues be cause their wyddowes were despysed in the dayly mynystracion.

2 And the twelve, having called the multitude of the disciples to [them], said, It is not right that we, leaving the word of God, should serve tables.

Then the twelve called the multitude of the disciples to gether and sayde: it is not mete that we shuld leave the worde of God and serve at the tables.

3 Look out therefore, brethren, from among yourselves seven men, well reported of, full of [the] [Holy] Spirit and wisdom, whom we will establish over this business:

Wherfore brethren loke ye out amoge you seven men of honest reporte and full of the holy goost and wysdome which we maye apoynte to this nedfull busynes.

4 but we will give ourselves up to prayer and the ministry of the word.

But we will geve oure selves cotinually to prayer and to the ministracion of ye worde.

5 And the saying pleased the whole multitude: and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and [the] Holy Spirit, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolas, a proselyte of Antioch,

And the sayinge pleased the whoale multitude. And they chose Steven a man full of fayth and of the holy goost and Philip and Prochorus and Nichanor and Timon and Permenas and Nicholas a converte of Antioche.

6 whom they set before the apostles; and, having prayed, they laid their hands on them.

Which they set before the Apostles and they prayed and layde their hondes on them.

7 And the word of God increased; and the number of the disciples in Jerusalem was very greatly multiplied, and a great crowd of the priests obeyed the faith.

And the worde of God encreased and the noubre of the disciples multiplied in Ierusalem greatly and a great company of the prestes were obedient to the faythe.

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

And Steven full of faythe and power dyd great wondres and myracles amoge ye people.

9 And there arose up certain of those of the synagogue called of freedmen, and of Cyrenians, and of Alexandrians, and of those of Cilicia and Asia, disputing with Stephen.

Then ther arose certayne of the synagoge which are called Lybertines and Syrenites and of Alexandria and of Cilicia and Asia and disputed with Steven.

10 And they were not able to resist the wisdom and the Spirit with which he spoke.

And they coulde not resist the wysdome and the sprete with which he spake.

11 Then they suborned men, saying, We have heard him speaking blasphemous words against Moses and God.

Then sent they in men which sayd: we have hearde him speake blasphemous wordes agaynst Moses and agaynst God.

12 And they roused the people, and the elders, and the scribes. And coming upon [him] they seized him and brought [him] to the council.

And they moved ye people and the elders and the scribes: and came apon him and caught him and brought him to the counsell

13 And they set false witnesses, saying, This man does not cease speaking words against the holy place and the law;

and brought forth falce witnesses which sayde. This ma ceasith not to speake blasphemous wordes agaynst this holy place and the lawe:

14 for we have heard him saying, This Jesus the Nazaraean shall destroy this place, and change the customs which Moses taught us.

for we hearde him saye: this Iesus of Nazareth shall destroye this place and shall chaunge the ordinaunces which Moses gave vs.

15 And all who sat in the council, looking fixedly on him, saw his face as [the] face of an angel.

And all that sate in ye counsell loked stedfastly on him and sawe his face as it had bene the face of an angell.
