Once again we see the early church confronted with a seeming debilitating situation but God prospers his church and the wise leadership of the apostles and response from His people results in an answer that preserves unity and promotes their biblical priorities of preaching and praying. "Godly leadership preserves unity through sensitivity and delegation while maintaining and promoting the biblical priorities or preaching and prayer."

ἐγένετο γογγυσμὸς τῶν Ἑλληνιστῶν πρὸς τοὺς Ἑβραίους,

ὅτι παρεθεωροῦντο ἐν τῇ διακονίᾳ τῇ καθημερινῇ αἱ χῆραι αὐτῶν.

προσκαλεσάμενοι δὲ οἱ δώδεκα τὸ πλῆθος τῶν μαθητῶν

And the twelve summoned the full number of the disciples

εἶπαν, οὐκ ἀρεστόν ἐστιν ἡμᾶς καταλείψαντας τὸν λόγον τοῦ θεοῦ

διακονεῖν τραπέζαις·
