1 And Sha’ul was giving approval to his death. And on that day there was a great persecution against the assembly which was at Yerushalayim, and they were all scattered throughout the countries of Yehuḏah and Shomeron, except the emissaries.
2 And dedicated men buried Stephanos, and made great lamentation over him.
3 But Sha’ul was ravaging the assembly, entering every house, and dragging off men and women, putting them in prison.
4 Then those who had been scattered went everywhere bringing the Good News: the Word!
5 And going down to the city of Shomeron Philip proclaimed Messiah to them.
6 And the crowds with one mind heeded what Philip said, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did.
7 For unclean spirits came out of many who were possessed, crying with a loud voice, and many who were paralysed and lame were healed.
