1 And Saul was consenting to his death.On that day a great persecution broke out against the church in Jerusalem. And they were all scattered throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except the apostles.
2 Devout men carried Stephen to his burial and made great lamentation over him.
3 But Saul ravaged the church, entering house by house and dragging out both men and women and committing them to prison.
4 Therefore those who were scattered went everywhere preaching the word.
5 Philip went down to the city of Samaria and preached Christ to them.
