Persecution » Of the righteous » Diffuses the gospel
Now those who had been dispersed by the persecution that arose after the death of Stephen, traveled as far as Phenicia and Cyprus and Antioch, speaking the word to none but Jews. But some of them were men of Cyprus and Gyrene, who, when they had come to Antioch, spoke to the Grecians, preaching the Lord Jesus. And the hand of the Lord was with them, and a great number believed, and turned to the Lord.
And at that time there was a great persecution against the church that was in Jerusalem; and they were all dispersed throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except the apostles.

But I wish you to know, brethren, that the things which have befallen me have turned out rather to the advancement of the gospel; so that my bonds which are for Christ have become known to be such in all the palace, and in all other places; and most of the brethren in the Lord, having confidence in my bonds, are more bold to speak the word without fear.
