Acts 8:1-4

Saul was in full agreement with Stephen's murder.

The church scatters

1 At that time, the church in Jerusalem began to be subjected to vicious harassment. Everyone except the apostles was scattered throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria.

2 Some pious men buried Stephen and deeply grieved over him.

3 Saul began to wreak havoc against the church. Entering one house after another, he would drag off both men and women and throw them into prison.

Philip in Samaria

4 Those who had been scattered moved on, preaching the good news along the way.
