2 And some religious people buried Stephen and cried loudly for him.
3 Saul was also trying to destroy the church, going from house to house, dragging out men and women and putting them in jail.
4 And wherever they were scattered, they told people the Good News.
5 Philip went to the city of Samaria and preached about the Christ.
6 When the people there heard Philip and saw the miracles he was doing, they all listened carefully to what he said.
7 Many of these people had evil spirits in them, but Philip made the evil spirits leave. The spirits made a loud noise when they came out. Philip also healed many weak and crippled people there.
8 So the people in that city were very happy.
