If you are referring to the dispute between Hebrew and Grecian Jews found in Acts, then you can find the answer in Acts 6:1. "Now in those days, when the number of the disciples was multiplying, there arose a complaint against the Hebrews by the Hellenists [Grecian Jews], because their widows were neglected in the daily distribution (NKJV)." Basically, the Hellenistic widows, since widows were not allowed an inheritance in their day, were dependent upon the help of others, as were the Hebrew widows. The church helped out the situation by distributing food to the widows daily. However, there seemed to be some sort of "racism", as we would call it today, among those who distributed food. They were not giving the Hellenistic widows the daily distribution of food. And this is the dispute which initiated the choosing of the seven.
