1 Во дне́хъ же си́хъ, ᲂу҆мно́жившымсѧ ᲂу҆чн҃кѡ́мъ, бы́сть ропта́нїе є҆́ллинѡвъ ко є҆вре́ѡмъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ презира́ємы быва́хꙋ во вседне́внѣмъ слꙋже́нїи вдови̑цы и҆́хъ.
1 EN aquellos días, creciendo el número de los discípulos, hubo murmuración de los Griegos contra los Hebreos, de que sus viudas eran menospreciadas en el ministerio cotidiano.
1 Now in those days, when the number of the disciples was multiplying, a complaint arose from the Hellenists against the Hebrews, because their widows were neglected in the daily service.
2 Призва́вше же двана́десѧть мно́жество ᲂу҆чн҃къ, рѣ́ша: не ᲂу҆го́дно є҆́сть на́мъ, ѡ҆ста́вльшымъ сло́во бж҃їе, слꙋжи́ти трапе́замъ:
2 Así que, los doce convocaron la multitud de los discípulos, y dijeron: No es justo que nosotros dejemos la palabra de Dios, y sirvamos á las mesas.
2 The twelve summoned the multitude of the disciples and said, “It is not appropriate for us to forsake the word of God and serve tables.
3 ᲂу҆смотри́те ᲂу҆̀бо, бра́тїе, мꙋ́жы ѿ ва́съ свидѣ́тельствѡваны се́дмь, и҆спо́лнєны дх҃а ст҃а и҆ премꙋ́дрости, и҆̀хже поста́вимъ над̾ слꙋ́жбою се́ю:
3 Buscad pues, hermanos, siete varones de vosotros de buen testimonio, llenos de Espíritu Santo y de sabiduría, los cuales pongamos en esta obra.
3 Therefore, select from among you, brothers, seven men of good report, full of the Holy Spirit and of wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business.
4 мы́ же въ моли́твѣ и҆ слꙋже́нїи сло́ва пребꙋ́демъ.
4 Y nosotros persistiremos en la oración, y en el ministerio de la palabra.
4 But we will continue steadfastly in prayer and in the ministry of the word.”
5 И҆ ᲂу҆го́дно бы́сть сло́во сїѐ пред̾ всѣ́мъ наро́домъ: и҆ и҆збра́ша стефа́на, мꙋ́жа и҆спо́лнена вѣ́ры и҆ дх҃а ст҃а, и҆ фїлі́ппа, и҆ про́хора и҆ нїкано́ра, и҆ ті́мѡна и҆ парме́на, и҆ нїкола́а прише́льца а҆нтїохі́йскаго,
5 Y plugo el parecer á toda la multitud; y eligieron á Esteban, varón lleno de fe y de Espíritu Santo, y á Felipe, y á Prócoro, y á Nicanor, y á Timón, y á Parmenas, y á Nicolás, prosélito de Antioquía:
5 These words pleased the whole multitude. They chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit, Philip, Prochorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and Nicolaus, a proselyte of Antioch,
6 и҆̀хже поста́виша пред̾ а҆пⷭ҇лы: и҆ помоли́вшесѧ возложи́ша на нѧ̀ рꙋ́цѣ.
6 A estos presentaron delante de los apóstoles, los cuales orando les pusieron las manos encima.
6 whom they set before the apostles. When they had prayed, they laid their hands on them.
7 И҆ сло́во бж҃їе растѧ́ше, и҆ мно́жашесѧ число̀ ᲂу҆чн҃къ во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мѣ ѕѣлѡ̀: мно́гъ же наро́дъ свѧще́нникѡвъ послꙋ́шахꙋ вѣ́ры.
7 Y crecía la palabra del Señor, y el número de los discípulos se multiplicaba mucho en Jerusalem: también una gran multitud de los sacerdotes obedecía á la fe.
7 The word of God increased and the number of the disciples greatly multiplied in Jerusalem. A great company of the priests were obedient to the faith.
8 Стефа́нъ же и҆спо́лнь вѣ́ры и҆ си́лы творѧ́ше зна́мєнїѧ и҆ чꙋдеса̀ вє́лїѧ въ лю́дехъ.
8 Empero Esteban, lleno de gracia y de potencia, hacía prodigios y milagros grandes en el pueblo.
8 Stephen, full of faith and power, performed great wonders and signs among the people.
9 Воста́ша же нѣ́цыи ѿ со́нма глаго́лемагѡ лїверті́нска и҆ кѷрине́йска и҆ а҆леѯа́ндрска, и҆ и҆̀же ѿ кїлїкі́и и҆ а҆сі́и, стѧза́ющесѧ со стефа́номъ:
9 Levantáronse entonces unos de la sinagoga que se llama de los Libertinos, y Cireneos, y Alejandrinos, y de los de Cilicia, y de Asia, disputando con Esteban.
9 But some of those who were of the synagogue called “The Libertines”, and of the Cyrenians, of the Alexandrians, and of those of Cilicia and Asia arose, disputing with Stephen.
10 и҆ не можа́хꙋ противꙋста́ти премꙋ́дрости и҆ дх҃ꙋ, и҆́мже глаго́лаше.
10 Mas no podían resistir á la sabiduría y al Espíritu con que hablaba.
10 They weren’t able to withstand the wisdom and the Spirit by which he spoke.
11 Тогда̀ под̾ꙋсти́ша мꙋ́жы глаго́лющыѧ, ꙗ҆́кѡ слы́шахомъ є҆го̀ глаго́люща глаго́лы хꙋ̑льныѧ на мѡѷсе́а и҆ на бг҃а.
11 Entonces sobornaron á unos que dijesen que le habían oído hablar palabras blasfemas contra Moisés y Dios.
11 Then they secretly induced men to say, “We have heard him speak blasphemous words against Moses and God.”
12 Сподвиго́ша же лю́ди и҆ ста́рцы и҆ кни́жники, и҆ напа́дше восхи́тиша є҆го̀ и҆ приведо́ша на со́нмище,
12 Y conmovieron al pueblo, y á los ancianos, y á los escribas; y arremetiendo le arrebataron, y [le] trajeron al concilio.
12 They stirred up the people, the elders, and the scribes, and came against him and seized him, then brought him in to the council,
13 поста́виша же свидѣ́тєли лѡ́жны глаго́лющыѧ, ꙗ҆́кѡ человѣ́къ се́й не престае́тъ глаго́лы хꙋ̑льныѧ глаго́лѧ на мѣ́сто ст҃о́е сїѐ и҆ зако́нъ:
13 Y pusieron testigos falsos, que dijesen: Este hombre no cesa de hablar palabras blasfemas contra este lugar santo y la ley:
13 and set up false witnesses who said, “This man never stops speaking blasphemous words against this holy place and the law.
14 слы́шахомъ бо є҆го̀ глаго́люща, ꙗ҆́кѡ і҆и҃съ назѡре́й се́й разори́тъ мѣ́сто сїѐ и҆ и҆змѣни́тъ ѡ҆бы̑чаи, ꙗ҆̀же предадѐ на́мъ мѡѷсе́й.
14 Porque le hemos oído decir, que este Jesús de Nazaret destruirá este lugar, y mudará las ordenanzas que nos dió Moisés.
14 For we have heard him say that this Jesus of Nazareth will destroy this place, and will change the customs which Moses delivered to us.”
15 И҆ воззрѣ́вше на́нь всѝ сѣдѧ́щїи въ со́нмищи, ви́дѣша лицѐ є҆гѡ̀ ꙗ҆́кѡ лицѐ а҆́гг҃ла.
15 Entonces todos los que estaban sentados en el concilio, puestos los ojos en él, vieron su rostro como el rostro de un ángel.
15 All who sat in the council, fastening their eyes on him, saw his face like it was the face of an angel.

What the Fathers said

Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).

How these were chosen

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).

  1. Commentary 6:8 John Chrysostom, Homilies on the Acts of the Apostles (Homily XV)

    See how even among the seven one was preëminent, and won the first prize. For though the ordination was common to him and them, yet he drew upon himself greater grace.

  2. Quotes verse 6:1–4 Augustine of Hippo, Tractates on the Gospel of John (Chapters XVII–XVII)

    … the tables, previous to the time when Paul was brought to the faith of Christ, the reply given by the apostles, who before then had adhered to the Lord, was: "It is not good that we should leave the word of God, and serve tables." Then it was that they provided for the ordination of deacons, that they themselves might …
