Acts 8:1-4

Saul the Persecutor

1 Saul agreed with putting him to death. On that day a severe persecution broke out against the church in Jerusalem, and all except the apostles were scattered throughout the land of Judea and Samaria.

2 But devout men buried Stephen and mourned deeply over him.

3 Saul, however, was ravaging the church, and he would enter house after house, drag off men and women, and put them in prison.

Philip in Samaria

4 So those who were scattered went on their way proclaiming the message of good news.
