Acts 6:8

χάριτος instead of πίστεως with אABD. Vulg. ‘gratia.’

8. πλήρης χάριτος, full of grace. The Text. recept. has arisen from a desire to make this verse conform to Acts 6:5.

δυνάμεως, power, i.e. of working miracles, with which he at least among the seven seems to have been endued equally with the Apostles.

On this Chrysostom remarks ὃρα, πῶς καὶ ἐν τοῖς ἑπτὰ ἦν τις πρόκριτος καὶ τὰ πρωτεῖα εἶχεν. εἰ γὰρ καὶ ἡ χειροτονία κοινή, ἀλλ' ὅμως οὗτος ἐπεσπάσατο χάριν πλείονα.
