Acts 8:1-3

Tree of Life Version

Saul Persecutes Messiah’s Community

8 Now Saul was in agreement with Stephen’s execution. On that day a great persecution arose against Messiah’s community in Jerusalem, and they were all scattered throughout the region of Judea and Samaria, except the emissaries. ² Some devout men buried Stephen and mourned deeply for him.

³ But Saul was destroying Messiah’s community, entering house after house; and dragging off men and women, he was throwing them into prison.
