And, behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon; and the same man was just and devout, waiting for the comforting of Israel: and the Holy Spirit was upon him.
And they said, Cornelius the centurion, a just man, and one that fears God, and of good reputation among all the nation of the Jews, was warned from God by a holy angel to send for you to come to his house, and to hear words from you.
Therefore, fellow believers, choose from among you seven men of honest reputation, full of the Holy Spirit and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business.
