1 And Saul was agreeing with his murder. Now there happened on that day a great persecution against the church in Jerusalem, and they were all scattered throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except the apostles.
2 And devout men buried Stephen and made loud lamentation over him.
3 But Saul was attempting to destroy the church. Entering house after house, he dragged off both men and women and delivered them to prison.
4 Now those who had been scattered went about proclaiming the good news of the word.
5 And Philip came down to the city of Samaria and began proclaiming the Christ to them.
6 And the crowds with one mind were paying attention to what was being said by Philip, as they heard him and saw the signs that he was performing.
