 The word "tables"(τραπεζαις ) is used 14 times in the New Testament and in each occurrence deals with either food or money.In verse two, the twelve are specifically appointing these seven disciples for the care of the Hellenists ( ελληνιστων ) so that they, the twelve, can continue preaching the word, instead of working to both preach and provide for the material needs of the Christian community.The section concludes by stating that the word of God continued to spread and makes no mention of widows receiving more food or funds.
