As the number of disciples grows, Greek-speaking Jewish believers complain that their widows are neglected in the daily distribution. The Twelve protect their priority of prayer and the ministry of the word while directing the congregation to choose seven reputable, Spirit-filled men to oversee the matter. The word of God increases, many priests become obedient to the faith, and Stephen’s powerful witness leads opponents to false accusations.
