Acts 8:1-4

1 and Sha'ul gave his approval to his murder. Starting with that day, there arose intense persecution against the Messianic Community in Yerushalayim; all but the emissaries were scattered throughout the regions of Y'hudah and Shomron.

2 Some godly men buried Stephen and mourned him deeply.

3 But Sha'ul set out to destroy the Messianic Community - entering house after house, he dragged off both men and women and handed them over to be put in prison.

4 However, those who were scattered announced the Good News of the Word wherever they went.
