“As the number of disciples continued to grow, the Hellenists complained to the Hebrews because their widows were being neglected in the daily distribution.”

“So the Twelve called together the community…”

“Brothers, select from among you seven reputable men… who we shall appoint to this task, whereas we shall devote ourselves to… the ministry of the Word.”

“The proposal was acceptable to the whole community…”

“…the word of God continued to spread, and the number of disciples… increased greatly.”

—Acts of the Apostles
