Acts 8:1-4

RKJNT(i) 1 And Saul was consenting to his death. And on that day a great persecution began against the church in Jerusalem; and they were all scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judaea and Samaria, except the apostles. 2 And devout men buried Stephen, and made great lamentation over him. 3 As for Saul, he ravaged the church, entering into every house, and dragging off men and women and committing them to prison. 4 Therefore, those who were scattered abroad went about preaching the word.
