Acts 8:1-3
Saul Persecutes the Church
8aNow Saul was in hearty agreement with putting him to death. And on that day a great persecution 1began against bthe church in Jerusalem, and they were all cscattered throughout the regions of Judea and dSamaria, except the apostles. 2And some devout men buried Stephen and made loud lamentation over him. 3But aSaul began ravaging the church, entering house after house, and bdragging off men and women, he was delivering them into prison.
