Acts 6:8

²⁹Now, Lord, look at their threats, and grant to your servants to speak your word with all boldness, ³⁰while you stretch out your hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done through the name of your holy Servant Jesus.”

⁵These words pleased the whole multitude. They chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit, Philip, Prochorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and Nicolaus, a proselyte of Antioch,

⁵⁵But he, being full of the Holy Spirit, looked up steadfastly into heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God,

¹⁰They weren’t able to withstand the wisdom and the Spirit by which he spoke.

¹³For those who have served well^[+] gain for themselves a good standing and great boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus.

¹⁷‘It will be in the last days, says God, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh. Your sons and your daughters will prophesy. Your young men will see visions. Your old men will dream dreams. ¹⁸Yes, and on my servants and on my handmaidens in those days, I will pour out my Spirit, and they will prophesy.

¹⁵All who sat in the council, fastening their eyes on him, saw his face like it was the face of an angel.

⁶The multitudes listened with one accord to the things that were spoken by Philip when they heard and saw the signs which he did.

³Therefore, select from among you, brothers, seven men of good report, full of the Holy Spirit and of wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business.

⁴⁸Jesus therefore said to him, “Unless you see signs and wonders, you will in no way believe.”
