This role is often seen as a precursor to the office of deacon.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the early church, as recorded in the Book of Acts, the rapid growth of the Christian community led to logistical challenges, particularly in the equitable distribution of resources. The appointment of the seven, including Prochorus, was a response to complaints from Greek-speaking Jews (Hellenists) that their widows were being neglected in the daily distribution of food. This event highlights the early church's commitment to unity and service, as well as the importance of addressing practical needs within the community.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/4253.htm">pro</a> and <a href="/greek/5525.htm">choros</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>Prochorus, a Christian at Jer.<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Prochorus (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 4402: Πρόχορος</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">Πρόχορος</span></span> (<span class="greek2">Προχορου</span>, <span class="greek2">ὁ</span> (literally, 'leader of the dance')), <span class="accented">Prochorus,</span> one of the seven 'deacons' of the church at Jerusalem: <a href="/interlinear/acts/6-5.htm">Acts 6:5</a>.<FOOTNOTE:1> <br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>Prochorus. <p>From <a href="/greek/4253.htm">pro</a> and <a href="/greek/5525.htm">choros</a>;
