'Deacons' in the Bible
On the next day we left and came to Caesarea, and we went to the house of Philip the evangelist, who was one of the seven [deacons], and stayed with him.
Paul and Timotheus, the servants of Jesus Christ, to all the saints in Christ Jesus which are at Philippi, with the bishops and deacons:
Likewise must the deacons be grave, not doubletongued, not given to much wine, not greedy of filthy lucre;
And they must also be tested first; if they prove blameless, then they can serve as deacons.
Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well.
For those who have served well as deacons acquire a good standing for themselves, and great boldness in the faith that is in Christ Jesus.
