Acts 7:54-8:1

54 When they heard these things, they were cut to the heart, and they gnashed on him with their teeth. 55 But he, being full of the Holy Spirit, looked up steadfastly with his eyes into heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God. 56 And he said, Behold, I see the heavens open, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God.

57 Then they gave a shout with a loud voice, and stopped their ears, and ran upon him all at once, 58 and cast him out of the city, and stoned him. And the witnesses laid down their clothes at the feet of a young man named Saul. 59 And they stoned Stephen, who was calling on the Lord and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit! 60 And he kneeled down and cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge! And when he had thus spoken, he fell asleep.

Saul persecutes the Christians. The apostles are scattered abroad. Philip comes into Samaria. Simon Magus is baptized; he dissembles. Philip baptizes the chamberlain.

Saul had pleasure in Stephen’s death. And at that time there was a great persecution against the congregation that was at Jerusalem, and they were all scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except the apostles.
