1Saul was consenting to his death. A great persecution arose against the assembly which was in Jerusalem in that day. They were all scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except for the apostles.

2Devout men buried Stephen, and lamented greatly over him.

3But Saul ravaged the assembly, entering into every house, and dragged both men and women off to prison.

4Therefore those who were scattered abroad went around preaching the word.

5Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and proclaimed to them the Christ.
