来自《耶鲁大学开放课程：新约及其历史背景第9集第9集》

Yes, it comes from the word stephanos in Greek,

是它从希腊语"stephanos"而来
which means "Crown."

也就是王冠的意思
Notice already there are Greek speaking Jews

所以你们看在会堂中已经有
who have Greeks names in the church,

有希腊名字并说希腊话的犹太人
and Stephen's one of them.

司提反就是其中之一
In fact, the seven deacons who are appointed that

其实在之前我们读过的使徒行传中
we could have read about just right before this in Acts,

那拣选的七个执事
those are appointed precisely in order,

也就是那些被精心拣选的人
according to Acts, to be able to minister to the Greek speakers,

可以向说希腊语的人传道
because some Greek speaking widows

那些说希腊语的人
were being neglected in the distribution of food and funds,

有被忽略的寡妇她们不能分到食物
according to the text.

经文上就是这么说的
