Acts 8:1-3

New Life Version

It Is Hard for the Christians in Jerusalem

8 Saul thought it was all right that Stephen was killed. On that day people started to work very hard against the church in Jerusalem. All the followers, except the missionaries, were made to leave. They went to parts of the countries of Judea and Samaria. ² Good men put Stephen in a grave. There was much sorrow because of him. ³ During this time Saul was making it very hard for the church. He went into every house of the followers of Jesus and took men and women and put them in prison.
