Acts 8:1-3 - Saul Attempts To Destroy The Church
1 And Saul was consenting unto his death. And there was a great persecution in that day against the church in Jerusalem: and all were dispersed abroad throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except the apostles. 2 And godly men buried Stephen, and made great mourning over him. 3 But Saul was laying waste the church, entering into the houses, and arresting men and women, he committed them to prison.
