Acts 8:1-3 ▼

1 Now Saul approved of putting Stephen to death. And on that day a great persecution began against the church in Jerusalem, and they were all scattered throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except for the apostles.

2 Some devout men buried Stephen, and mourned loudly for him.

3 But Saul began ravaging the church, entering house after house; and he would drag away men and women and put them in prison.
