Saul persecutes the church

8:1Saul was consenting to his death. A great persecution arose against the assembly which was in Jerusalem in that day. They were all scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except for the apostles.

8:2Devout men buried Stephen and lamented greatly over him.

8:3But Saul ravaged the assembly, entering into every house and dragged both men and women off to prison.
