RSV ~ Acts 8 v2 - 3

And on that day a great persecution arose against the Church in Jerusalem; and they were all scattered throughout the region of Judea and Sama’ria, except the apostles.

2 Devout men buried Stephen, and made great lamentation over him.

3 But Saul laid waste the Church, and entering house after house, he dragged off men and women and committed them to prison.
