Seven Chosen to Serve
1Now in these days iwhen the disciples were increasing in number, a complaint by the Hellenists ▼▼That is, Greek-speaking Jews
arose against the Hebrews because their widows were being neglected in kthe daily distribution. Acts 9:39
39So Peter rose and went with them. And when he arrived, they took him to lthe upper room. All the widows stood beside him weeping and showing tunics ▼▼Greek chiton, a long garment worn under the cloak next to the skin
and other garments that Dorcas made while she was with them. James 1:27
27Religion that is pure and undefiled before God the Father is this: nto visit oorphans and widows in their affliction, and pto keep oneself qunstained from the world.
