Acts of the Apostles
The Acts of our fathers the apostles, may their blessings be with us.
Acts 8 : 1 - 4
Chapter 8
| 1 | Now Saul was consenting to his death. At that time a great persecution arose against the church which was at Jerusalem; and they were all scattered throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except the apostles.
|
| 2 | And devout men carried Stephen to his burial, and made great lamentation over him.
|
| 3 | As for Saul, he made havoc of the church, entering every house, and dragging off men and women, committing them to prison.
|
| 4 | Therefore those who were scattered went everywhere preaching the word.
|
The word of the Lord shall grow, multiply, be mighty, and be confirmed, in the holy Church of God.
Amen.
