Verses of Acts 6 of the NKJV from the book of the bible

KJV ASV NIV NKJV

1 - Now in those days, when the number of the disciples was multiplying, there arose a complaint against the Hebrews by the Hellenists, because their widows were neglected in the daily distribution.
2 - Then the twelve summoned the multitude of the disciples and said, "It is not desirable that we should leave the word of God and serve tables.
3 - Therefore, brethren, seek out from among you seven men of good reputation, full of the Holy Spirit and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business;
4 - but we will give ourselves continually to prayer and to the ministry of the word."
5 - And the saying pleased the whole multitude. And they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and the Holy Spirit, and Philip, Prochorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and Nicolas, a proselyte from Antioch,
6 - whom they set before the apostles; and when they had prayed, they laid hands on them.
7 - Then the word of God spread, and the number of the disciples multiplied greatly in Jerusalem, and a great many of the priests were obedient to the faith.
8 - And Stephen, full of faith and power, did great wonders and signs among the people.
9 - Then there arose some from what is called the Synagogue of the Freedmen (Cyrenians, Alexandrians, and those from Cilicia and Asia), disputing with Stephen.
10 - And they were not able to resist the wisdom and the Spirit by which he spoke.
11 - Then they secretly induced men to say, "We have heard him speak blasphemous words against Moses and God."
12 - And they stirred up the people, the elders, and the scribes; and they came upon him, seized him, and brought him to the council.
13 - They also set up false witnesses who said, "This man does not cease to speak blasphemous words against this holy place and the law;
14 - for we have heard him say that this Jesus of Nazareth will destroy this place and change the customs which Moses delivered to us."
15 - And all who sat in the council, looking steadfastly at him, saw his face as the face of an angel.
