Question: are deacons in the bible?
Answer: The title deaconess (διακόνισσα diakónissa) is not found in the Bible. However, one woman, Phoebe, is mentioned at Romans 16:1–2 as a deacon (διάκονος diákonos) of the church in Cenchreae. ... A biblical description of the qualities required of a deacon, and of his household, can be found in 1 Timothy 3:1–13.
