Persecution Scatters the Church

Acts 8:1-4

Persecution Scatters the Church

1
And Saul was assenting to his death, and there came in that day a great persecution upon the assembly in Jerusalem, all also were scattered abroad in the regions of Judea and Samaria, except the apostles;
2
and devout men carried away Stephen, and made great lamentation over him;
3
and Saul was making havoc of the assembly, into every house entering, and haling men and women, was giving them up to prison;
4
they then indeed, having been scattered, went abroad proclaiming good news--the word.
