6. whom they set before the emissaries. And when they had prayed, they laid hands on them.
7. And the Word of Elohim spread, and the number of the taught ones increased greatly in Yerushalayim, and a great many of the priests were obedient to the belief.
8. And Stephanos, filled with belief and power, did great wonders and signs among the people.

10. but they were unable to resist the wisdom and the Spirit by which he spoke.

12. And they stirred up the people, and the elders, and the scribes, so they came upon him, seized him, and brought him to the council.
