Acts 8:1-3 - Saul Attempts To Destroy The Church

¹ And Saul was approving of his death. And there arose on that day a great persecution against the assembly which was in Jerusalem; and they were all scattered abroad throughout the countries of Judaea and Samaria, except the apostles. ² And devout men carried Stephen to his burial, and made great lamentation over him. ³ But Saul was laying waste the assembly, entering house after house; and, dragging men and women, was committing them to prison.
