Acts 8:1-6

Saul was there. He had agreed that Stephen should die.

The Church Is Scattered

1 On that day the church in Jerusalem began to be attacked and treated badly. All except the apostles were scattered throughout Judea and Samaria.

2 Godly Jews buried Stephen. They sobbed and sobbed over him.

3 But Saul began to destroy the church. He went from house to house. He dragged men and women away and put them in prison.

Philip Goes to Samaria

4 The believers who had been scattered preached the word everywhere they went.

5 Philip went down to a city in Samaria. There he preached about the Christ.

6 The crowds listened to Philip. They saw the miraculous signs he did. They all paid close attention to what he said.
