6:1  in diebus autem illis crescente         1.  And in those days, when the number
numero discipulorum factus est murmur        of the disciples was multiplied, there
Graecorum adversus Hebraeos eo quod          arose a murmuring of the Grecians
dispicerentur in ministerio cotidiano        against the Hebrews, because their
viduae eorum                                 widows were neglected in the daily
                                             ministration.

6:2  convocantes autem duodecim              2.  Then the twelve called the
multitudinem discipulorum dixerunt non       multitude of the disciples unto them,
est aequum nos derelinquere verbum Dei       and said, It is not reason that we
et ministrare mensis                         should leave the word of God, and serve
                                             tables.

6:3  considerate ergo fratres viros ex       3.  Wherefore, brethren, look ye out
vobis boni testimonii septem plenos          among you seven men of honest report,
Spiritu et sapientia quos constituamus       full of the Holy Ghost and wisdom, whom
super hoc opus                               we may appoint over this business.

6:4  nos vero orationi et ministerio         4.  But we will give ourselves
verbi instantes erimus                       continually to prayer, and to the
                                             ministry of the word.

6:5  et placuit sermo coram omni             5.  And the saying pleased the whole
multitudine et elegerunt Stephanum           multitude: and they chose Stephen, a
virum plenum fide et Spiritu Sancto et       man full of faith and of the Holy
Philippum et Prochorum et Nicanorem et       Ghost, and Philip, and Prochorus, and
Timonem et Parmenam et Nicolaum advenam      Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and
Antiochenum                                  Nicolas a proselyte of Antioch:

6:6  hos statuerunt ante conspectum          6.  Whom they set before the apostles:
apostolorum et orantes inposuerunt eis       and when they had prayed, they laid
manus                                        their hands on them.

6:7  et verbum Dei crescebat et              7.  And the word of God increased; and
multiplicabatur numerus discipulorum in      the number of the disciples multiplied
Hierusalem valde multa etiam turba           in Jerusalem greatly; and a great
sacerdotum oboediebat fidei                  company of the priests were obedient to
                                             the faith.

6:8  Stephanus autem plenus gratia et        8.  And Stephen, full of faith and
fortitudine faciebat prodigia et signa       power, did great wonders and miracles
magna in populo                              among the people.

6:9  surrexerunt autem quidam de             9.  Then there arose certain of the
synagoga quae appellatur Libertinorum        synagogue, which is called the
et Cyrenensium et Alexandrinorum et          synagogue of the Libertines, and
eorum qui erant a Cilicia et Asia            Cyrenians, and Alexandrians, and of
disputantes cum Stephano                     them of Cilicia and of Asia, disputing
                                             with Stephen.

6:10  et non poterant resistere              10.  And they were not able to resist
sapientiae et Spiritui quo loquebatur        the wisdom and the spirit by which he
                                             spake.

6:11  tunc submiserunt viros qui             11.  Then they suborned men, which
dicerent se audisse eum dicentem verba       said, We have heard him speak
blasphemiae in Mosen et Deum                 blasphemous words against Moses, and
                                             against God.

6:12  commoverunt itaque plebem et           12.  And they stirred up the people,
seniores et scribas et concurrentes          and the elders, and the scribes, and
rapuerunt eum et adduxerunt in concilium     came upon him, and caught him, and
                                             brought him to the council,

6:13  et statuerunt testes falsos            13.  And set up false witnesses, which
dicentes homo iste non cessat loqui          said, This man ceaseth not to speak
verba adversus locum sanctum et legem        blasphemous words against this holy
                                             place, and the law:

6:14  audivimus enim eum dicentem            14.  For we have heard him say, that
quoniam Iesus Nazarenus hic destruet         this Jesus of Nazareth shall destroy
locum istum et mutabit traditiones quas      this place, and shall change the
tradidit nobis Moses                         customs which Moses delivered us.

6:15  et intuentes eum omnes qui             15.  And all that sat in the council,
sedebant in concilio viderunt faciem         looking stedfastly on him, saw his face
eius tamquam faciem angeli                   as it had been the face of an angel.
