Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

Seven Chosen to Serve

6 Now in these days when the disciples were increasing in number, the Hellenists^[a] murmured against the Hebrews because their widows were neglected in the daily distribution. ² And the twelve summoned the body of the disciples and said, “It is not right that we should give up preaching the word of God to serve tables. ³ Therefore, brethren, pick out from among you seven men of good repute, full of the Spirit and of wisdom, whom we may appoint to this duty.
