1 And Saul was in full agreement with Stephen being put to death. And a great persecution broke out against the Jerusalem church, and all the disciples, except the apostles, were scattered throughout the districts of Judea and Samaria.
2 The godly men who buried Stephen's body mourned over his loss very deeply.
3 But Saul brought devastation to the church by entering everyone's house and dragging men and women off to jail.
4 Now the disciples, who had become scattered all over, went everywhere preaching the message [of God].
