| 8 1 | And Saul was among those who approved of his murder. THIS WAS THE BEGINNING of a time of violent persecution for the church in Jerusalem; and all except the apostles were scattered over the country districts of Judaea and Samaria. | Saul Persecutes the Church Ac.8.1-3 (Jerusalem) | Σαῦλος δὲ ἦν συνευδοκῶν τῇ ἀναιρέσει αὐτοῦ. Ἐγένετο δὲ ἐν ἐκείνῃ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ διωγμὸς μέγας ἐπὶ τὴν ἐκκλησίαν τὴν ἐν Ἱεροσολύμοις· πάντες δὲ διεσπάρησαν κατὰ τὰς χώρας τῆς Ἰουδαίας καὶ Σαμαρείας πλὴν τῶν ἀποστόλων. |
| 2 | Stephen was given burial by certain devout men, who made a great lamentation for him. | συνεκόμισαν δὲ τὸν Στέφανον ἀνδρες εὐλαβεῖς καὶ ἐποίησαν κοπετὸν μέγαν ἐπ' αὐτῷ. | |
| 3 | Saul, meanwhile, was harrying the church; he entered house after house, seizing men and women, and sending them to prison. | Σαῦλος δὲ ἐλυμαίνετο τὴν ἐκκλησίαν κατὰ τοὺς οἰκους εἰσπορευόμενος, σύρων τε ἀνδρας καὶ γυναῖκας παρεδίδου εἰς φυλακήν. | |
