Read the actual text- Acts 6:1-7

How did New Testament Christians act?
Part 2- Chapters 5-7

The Solution!

 "Brothers, choose seven men from among you who are known to be full of the Spirit and wisdom. We will turn this responsibility over to them and will give our attention to prayer and the ministry of the word."

Some say these 7 men were the first deacons. The Bible does not say they were officially deacons, but they were definitely servants.

The Results!

"So the word of God spread. The number of disciples in Jerusalem increased rapidly, and a large number of priests became obedient to the faith."
