Scattered

1 (A) Saul was in hearty agreement with putting him to death And on that day a great persecution began against (B) the church in Jerusalem, and they were all (C) scattered throughout the regions of Judea and (D) Samaria, except the apostles.

2 Some devout men buried Stephen, and made loud lamentation over him.

3 But (E) Saul began ravaging the church, entering house after house, and (F) dragging off men and women, he would put them in prison.

4 Therefore, those (G) who had been scattered went about (H) preaching the Word.

5 (I) Philip went down to the city of Samaria and began proclaiming Christ to them.

6 The crowds with one accord were giving attention to what was said by Philip, as they heard and saw the signs which he was performing.

7 For in the case of many who had (J) unclean spirits, they were coming out of them shouting with a loud voice; and many who had been (K) paralyzed and lame were healed.

8 So there was (L) much rejoicing in that city.

-Acts 8:1-8
