People murmur among themselves.]** **Narrator:** In those days, as the number of disciples grew, a complaint arose from the Hellenistic Jews against the Hebraic Jews. They said their widows were being neglected in the daily distribution of food. **Hellenistic Believer:** Our widows are being overlooked in the food distribution! This is not right. **Hebraic Believer:** We’re trying our best, but there are too many people now. **[The Apostles gather to discuss.]** **Peter:** Brothers and sisters, it’s not right for us to neglect the ministry of the Word of God to wait on tables. **Apostle 2:** Let’s choose seven men among you—men known to be full of the Spirit and wisdom—to handle this responsibility. **Peter:** We will give our attention to prayer and the ministry of the Word. **Narrator:** This idea pleased the whole group. --- ### **Scene 2: The Choosing of the Seven** **[The people gather again, nodding and discussing names.]** **Member 1:** Stephen! He’s a man full of faith and the Holy Spirit. **Member 2:** And Philip. He’s wise and faithful. **Member 3:** Prochorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and Nicolas from Antioch. **Narrator:** They presented these men to the apostles, who prayed and laid their hands on them. **[The apostles pray, placing their hands on the seven.]** **Peter:** May the Spirit of the Lord fill you all with strength and wisdom for this service. **Narrator:** And the Word of God spread. The number of disciples in Jerusalem increased rapidly, and many priests became obedient to the faith. --- ### **Scene 3: Stephen’s Ministry and Opposition** **[Stephen is seen preaching boldly. People are amazed.]** **Narrator:** Stephen, full of God’s grace and power, performed great wonders and signs among the people. **[Members of the Synagogue of the Freedmen approach, challenging him.]** **Freedman 1:** Who are you to teach us these things? **Stephen:** I speak only the truth that Jesus is the promised Messiah. **Freedman 2:** (angrily) Your words are blasphemy! **Narrator:** But they could not stand up against the wisdom the Spirit gave him as he spoke. **[They whisper among themselves.]** **Freedman 3:** Let’s secretly persuade some men to say he speaks blasphemous words against Moses and against God. **Narrator:** So they stirred up the people, the elders, and the teachers of the law. They seized Stephen and brought him before the Sanhedrin. --- ### **Scene 4: Before the Council** **[Stephen stands calmly before the council.]** **High Priest:** We have heard you speak against this holy place and the Law. What do you say to these accusations? **False Witness 1:** He said Jesus of Nazareth will destroy this place and change the customs Moses handed down to us! **False Witness 2:** Yes! He speaks against the temple and against God! **Narrator:** All who sat in the council looked intently at Stephen, and they saw that his face was like the face of an angel. **[The light shines softly on Stephen’s face as the scene fades.]** **Narrator:** (quietly) And so began the story of Stephen—the first to give his life for the faith he so boldly proclaimed. --- ✅ **End of Acts Chapter 6** --- Would you like me to make it a **play script with narrator and stage directions for performance** (e.g., for a church or youth drama), or a **film-style script** (cinematic dialogue with camera directions)?
