Acts 6:5-7

New Catholic Bible

⁵ The entire community found this proposal to be acceptable, and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and the Holy Spirit, together with Philip, Prochorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and Nicholas of Antioch who was a convert to Judaism. ⁶ They then presented these men to the apostles, who prayed and laid hands on them.^[a]

⁷ The word of God continued to spread ever more widely. The number of the disciples in Jerusalem increased greatly, and a large number of priests became obedient to the faith.
