Acts 6:2

So the twelve called the multitude of the disciples to them and said, It is not seemly that we should leave the word of God and attend at tables.

But Peter and John answered them, and said, Whether it be right in the sight of God to obey you rather than God, judge ye:

What then is to be done? The people must necessarily meet together; for they will hear that thou art come.

For it seems to me absurd, to send a prisoner and not to signify the crimes laid against him."

No one, that enters into military service, embarrasseth himself with the affairs of this life, that he may please him who enlisted him.

Then the twelve called the multitude of the disciples unto them, and said, It is not reason that we should leave the word of God, and serve tables.

What then is to be done? The people must necessarily meet together; for they will hear that thou art come.

But Peter and John answered them, and said, Whether it be right in the sight of God to obey you rather than God, judge ye:

For it seems to me absurd, to send a prisoner and not to signify the crimes laid against him."

No one, that enters into military service, embarrasseth himself with the affairs of this life, that he may please him who enlisted him.

So the apostles and elders were assembled together to consider about this matter.
