Book of Acts | Chapter 6 | church of Christ
After the death of Stephen, a severe persecution arose against the Lord’s church. Verse 1 Acts 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.” NKJV Christians, with the exception of the apostles, were scattered throughout Judea and Samaria. A young man by the name of Saul was instrumental in this persecution. Verses 2-3 Acts 8:2-3 “And devout men carried Stephen to his burial, and made great lamentation over him. As for Saul, he made havoc of the church, entering every house, and dragging off men and women, committing them to prison.” NKJV But who was this Saul and why was he so zealous in persecuting followers of Christ?
