Acts 6:2

the twelve therefore assembled all the disciples, and said, it is not fit that we should leave the word of God, to mind what relates to your meals.

but Peter and John made answer, do you yourselves judge, whether it be right in the sight of God, to obey you rather than God.

what then is to be done? they will necessarily be all assembled, for they can't but hear, you are come.

for it seems to me absurd to send a prisoner without expressing the crimes laid to his charge."

he that enters into the service, disengages himself from civil affairs, that he may be acceptable to his officer.

for it seems to me absurd to send a prisoner without expressing the crimes laid to his charge."

he that enters into the service, disengages himself from civil affairs, that he may be acceptable to his officer.

The apostles therefore, and the presbyters assembled to deliberate upon this affair.
