Acts 6:1

Some time later. Both Lipscomb and McGarvey think this is still during the first year of the Gospel Age. either 30, or early 31 A.D. [by the corrected calendar]. There was a quarrel. Notice that somebody was already doing the work of a "church helper" [deacon] (1 Timothy 3:8). But the Greek-speaking Jews were being discriminated against. [Many Jews outside of Palestine adopted the Greek language and some customs.] Their widows were being neglected. The pride of the Palestinian Jews made them neglect the needs of these widows.
