Saul Attempts To Destroy The Church

So on that day a severe persecution broke out against the church in Jerusalem, and all of them, except the apostles, were scattered over Judea and Samaria. ² Some devout men buried Stephen and made loud lamentation for him. ³ But Saul continued to harass the church, and by going from house to house and dragging off men and women he continued to put them into prison.
