Acts 8:1-3 The Apostle Paul and the Conversion of the Ethiopian Eunuch

1 And Saul was there, giving approval to his death.
The Church Persecuted and Scattered
On that day a great persecution broke out against the church at Jerusalem, and all except the apostles were scattered throughout Judea and Samaria.

3 But Saul began to destroy the church. Going from house to house, he dragged off men and women and put them in prison.
