Berean Standard Bible
1εν δε ταισ ημεραισ ταυταισ πληθυνοντων των μαθητων εγενετο γογγυσμοσ των ελληνιστων προσ τουσ εβραιουσ οτι παρεθεωρουντο εν τη διακονια τη καθημερινη αι χηραι αυτων
1In those days when the disciples were increasing in number, the Grecian Jews among them began to grumble against the Hebraic Jews because their widows were being overlooked in the daily distribution of food.
2προσκαλεσαμενοι δε οι δωδεκα το πληθοσ των μαθητων ειπον ουκ αρεστον εστιν ημασ καταλειψαντασ τον λογον του θεου διακονειν τραπεζαισ
2So the Twelve summoned all the disciples and said, “It is unacceptable for us to neglect the word of God in order to wait on tables.
3επισκεψασθε ουν αδελφοι ανδρασ εξ υμων μαρτυρουμενουσ επτα πληρεισ πνευματοσ αγιου και σοφιασ ουσ καταστησωμεν επι τησ χρειασ ταυτησ
3Therefore, brothers, select from among you seven men confirmed to be full of the Spirit and wisdom. We will appoint this responsibility to them
4ημεισ δε τη προσευχη και τη διακονια του λογου προσκαρτερησομεν
4and will devote ourselves to prayer and to the ministry of the word.”
5και ηρεσεν ο λογοσ ενωπιον παντοσ του πληθουσ και εξελεξαντο στεφανον ανδρα πληρησ πιστεωσ και πνευματοσ αγιου και φιλιππον και προχορον και νικανορα και τιμωνα και παρμεναν και νικολαον προσηλυτον αντιοχεα
5This proposal pleased the whole group. They chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit, as well as Philip, Prochorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and Nicolas from Antioch, a convert to Judaism.
6ουσ εστησαν ενωπιον των αποστολων και προσευξαμενοι επεθηκαν αυτοισ τασ χειρασ
6They presented these seven to the apostles, who prayed and laid their hands on them.
7και ο λογοσ του θεου ηυξανεν και επληθυνετο ο αριθμοσ των μαθητων εν ιερουσαλημ σφοδρα πολυσ τε οχλοσ των ιερεων υπηκουον τη πιστει
7So the word of God continued to spread. The number of disciples in Jerusalem grew rapidly, and a great number of priests became obedient to the faith.
8στεφανοσ δε πληρησ πιστεωσ και δυναμεωσ εποιει τερατα και σημεια μεγαλα εν τω λαω
8Now Stephen, who was full of grace and power, was performing great wonders and signs among the people.
9ανεστησαν δε τινεσ των εκ τησ συναγωγησ τησ λεγομενησ λιβερτινων και κυρηναιων και αλεξανδρεων και των απο κιλικιασ και ασιασ συζητουντεσ τω στεφανω
9But resistance arose from what was called the Synagogue of the Freedmen, including Cyrenians, Alexandrians, and men from the provinces of Cilicia and Asia. They began to argue with Stephen,
10και ουκ ισχυον αντιστηναι τη σοφια και τω πνευματι ω ελαλει
10but they could not stand up to his wisdom or the Spirit by whom he spoke.
11τοτε υπεβαλον ανδρασ λεγοντασ οτι ακηκοαμεν αυτου λαλουντοσ ρηματα βλασφημα εισ μωσην και τον θεον
11Then they prompted some men to say, “We heard Stephen speak words of blasphemy against Moses and against God.”
12συνεκινησαν τε τον λαον και τουσ πρεσβυτερουσ και τουσ γραμματεισ και επισταντεσ συνηρπασαν αυτον και ηγαγον εισ το συνεδριον
12So they stirred up the people, elders, and scribes and confronted Stephen. They seized him and brought him before the Sanhedrin,
13εστησαν τε μαρτυρασ ψευδεισ λεγοντασ ο ανθρωποσ ουτοσ ου παυεται ρηματα βλασφημα λαλων κατα του τοπου του αγιου και του νομου
13where they presented false witnesses who said, “This man never stops speaking against this holy place and against the law.
14ακηκοαμεν γαρ αυτου λεγοντοσ οτι ιησουσ ο ναζωραιοσ ουτοσ καταλυσει τον τοπον τουτον και αλλαξει τα εθη α παρεδωκεν ημιν μωσησ
14For we have heard him say that Jesus of Nazareth will destroy this place and change the customs that Moses handed down to us.”
15και ατενισαντεσ εισ αυτον απαντεσ οι καθεζομενοι εν τω συνεδριω ειδον το προσωπον αυτου ωσει προσωπον αγγελου
15All who were sitting in the Sanhedrin looked intently at Stephen, and they saw that his face was like the face of an angel.
