1 And Saul was well pleased with his execution. For at that time there was a great persecution against the church in Jerusalem, and they were all dispersed through the regions of Judea and Samaria, except the apostles. 2 And some pious men carried Stephen to his burial, and made great lamentation for him. 3 But Saul made havock of the church, entring into the houses, and dragging out men and women, committed them to prison. 4 Now they that were dispersed went about preaching the word. 5 And Philip coming to the city of Samaria, preached Christ unto them. 6 And the people unanimously attended to the things which were spoken by Philip, hearing and seeing the miracles which he wrought: 7 for impure spirits crying with a loud voice came out of many that were possessed by them; and many paralytic and lame persons were cured. 8 And there was great joy in that city.
