WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
PT1904 Patriarchal Text 1904 (accented, eBible edition)
1 En aquellos días creciendo el número de los discípulos, se movió murmuración de los Griegos contra los Hebréos, de que sus viudas eran despreciadas en el servicio de cada día.
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.
1 Ἐν δὲ ταῖς ἡμέραις ταύταις πληθυνόντων τῶν μαθητῶν ἐγένετο γογγυσμὸς τῶν Ἑλληνιστῶν πρὸς τοὺς Ἑβραίους, ὅτι παρεθεωροῦντο ἐν τῇ διακονίᾳ τῇ καθημερινῇ αἱ χῆραι αὐτῶν.
2 Por lo qual los doce convocando la multitud de los discípulos, dixéron: No es justo que dexemos nosotros la palabra de Dios, y que 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.
2 προσκαλεσάμενοι δὲ οἱ δώδεκα τὸ πλῆθος τῶν μαθητῶν εἶπον· οὐκ ἀρεστόν ἐστιν ἡμᾶς καταλείψαντας τὸν λόγον τοῦ Θεοῦ διακονεῖν τραπέζαις.
3 Escoged pues, hermanos, de entre vosotros siete varones de buena reputación, llenos de Espíritu Santo y de sabiduría, á los quales encargarémos ésta 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.
3 ἐπισκέψασθε οὖν, ἀδελφοί, ἄνδρας ἐξ ὑμῶν μαρτυρουμένους ἑπτά, πλήρεις Πνεύματος Ἁγίου καὶ σοφίας, οὓς καταστήσομεν ἐπὶ τῆς χρείας ταύτης·
4 Y nosotros atenderemos de contínuo á la oración, y á la administración de la palabra.
4 But we will continue steadfastly in prayer and in the ministry of the word.”
4 ἡμεῖς δὲ τῇ προσευχῇ καὶ τῇ διακονίᾳ τοῦ λόγου προσκαρτερήσομεν.
5 Y pareció bien á toda la junta ésta proposicion. Y eligiéron á Estevan, hombre lleno de fé, y de Espíritu Santo, y á Phelipe, y á Prochôro, y á Nicanór, y á Timón, y á Parmenas, y á Nicolás prosélyto de Antiochia.
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,
5 καὶ ἤρεσεν ὁ λόγος ἐνώπιον παντὸς τοῦ πλήθους· καὶ ἐξελέξαντο Στέφανον, ἄνδρα πλήρη πίστεως καὶ Πνεύματος Ἁγίου, καὶ Φίλιππον καὶ Πρόχορον καὶ Νικάνορα καὶ Τίμωνα καὶ Παρμενᾶν καὶ Νικόλαον προσήλυτον Ἀντιοχέα,
6 A estos pusiéron delante de los Apóstoles: y orando pusieron las manos sobre ellos.
6 whom they set before the apostles. When they had prayed, they laid their hands on them.
6 οὓς ἔστησαν ἐνώπιον τῶν ἀποστόλων, καὶ προσευξάμενοι ἐπέθηκαν αὐτοῖς τὰς χεῖρας.
7 Y crecía la palabra del Señor, y se multiplicaba mucho el número de los discípulos en Jerusalém. Y una grande multitud de los Sacerdotes obedecía también á la fé.
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.
7 καὶ ὁ λόγος τοῦ Θεοῦ ηὔξανε, καὶ ἐπληθύνετο ὁ ἀριθμὸς τῶν μαθητῶν ἐν Ἱερουσαλὴμ σφόδρα, πολύς τε ὄχλος τῶν ἱερέων ὑπήκουον τῇ πίστει.
8 Mas Estevan, lleno de gracia, y de fortaleza, hacía grandes prodigios, y milagros en el pueblo.
8 Stephen, full of faith and power, performed great wonders and signs among the people.
8 Στέφανος δὲ πλήρης πίστεως καὶ δυνάμεως ἐποίει τέρατα καὶ σημεῖα μεγάλα ἐν τῷ λαῷ.
9 Y algunos de la Synagoga, que se llama de los Libertinos, y de los Cyrenéos, y de los Alexandrinos, y de aquellos que eran de Cílicia, y de Asia, se levantáron á disputar con Estevan:
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.
9 ἀνέστησαν δέ τινες τῶν ἐκ τῆς συναγωγῆς τῆς λεγομένης Λιβερτίνων καὶ Κυρηναίων καὶ Ἀλεξανδρέων καὶ τῶν ἀπὸ Κιλικίας καὶ Ἀσίας συζητοῦντες τῷ Στεφάνῳ,
10 Mas no podían resistir á la sabiduría, y al Espíritu, que hablaba.
10 They weren’t able to withstand the wisdom and the Spirit by which he spoke.
10 καὶ οὐκ ἴσχυον ἀντιστῆναι τῇ σοφίᾳ καὶ τῷ πνεύματι ᾧ ἐλάλει.
11 Entonces sobornáron á algunos, que dixesen que ellos le habían oído decir palabras de blasphemia contra Moysés, y contra Dios.
11 Then they secretly induced men to say, “We have heard him speak blasphemous words against Moses and God.”
11 τότε ὑπέβαλον ἄνδρας λέγοντας ὅτι ἀκηκόαμεν αὐτοῦ λαλοῦντος ῥήματα βλάσφημα εἰς Μωϋσῆν καὶ τὸν Θεόν·
12 Y conmoviéron al pueblo, y á los Ancianos, y á los Escribas: y conjurados, lo arrebatáron, y lleváron 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,
12 συνεκίνησάν τε τὸν λαὸν καὶ τοὺς πρεσβυτέρους καὶ τοὺς γραμματεῖς, καὶ ἐπιστάντες συνήρπασαν αὐτὸν καὶ ἤγαγον εἰς τὸ συνέδριον,
13 Y presentáron testigos falsos, que dixesen: Este hombre no cesa de hablar palabras contra el lugar Santo, y contra la Ley.
13 and set up false witnesses who said, “This man never stops speaking blasphemous words against this holy place and the law.
13 ἔστησάν τε μάρτυρας ψευδεῖς λέγοντας· ὁ ἄνθρωπος οὗτος οὐ παύεται ῥήματα βλάσφημα λαλῶν κατὰ τοῦ τόπου τοῦ ἁγίου καὶ τοῦ νόμου·
14 Porque le hemos oido decir: Que ese Jesús Nazareno destruirá éste lugar, y cambiará las tradiciones, que nos dió Moysés.
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.”
14 ἀκηκόαμεν γὰρ αὐτοῦ λέγοντος ὅτι Ἰησοῦς ὁ Ναζωραῖος οὗτος καταλύσει τὸν τόπον τοῦτον καὶ ἀλλάξει τὰ ἔθη ἃ παρέδωκεν ἡμῖν Μωϋσῆς.
15 Y fixando en él los ojos todos quantos estaban en el Concilio, vieron su rostro como rostro de un Angel.
15 All who sat in the council, fastening their eyes on him, saw his face like it was the face of an angel.
15 καὶ ἀτενίσαντες εἰς αὐτὸν ἅπαντες οἱ καθεζόμενοι ἐν τῷ συνεδρίῳ εἶδον τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ ὡσεὶ πρόσωπον ἀγγέλου.

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 …
