Acts 8:1-4

Saul Persecutes the Church

^aNow 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. 2 And some devout men buried Stephen and made loud lamentation over him. 3 But ^aSaul began ravaging the church, entering house after house, and ^bdragging off men and women, he was delivering them into prison.

Philip Preaches in Samaria

4 Therefore, those ^awho had been scattered went about, ^bproclaiming the good news of the word.
