Handelingen 8:1

Saulus stemde in met de moord op Stefanus. Diezelfde dag barstte er een grote vervolging van de kerkgemeenschap in Jeruzalem los; met uitzondering van de apostelen raakten allen verspreid over de gebieden Judea en Samaria.

And Saul was consenting unto his death. And at that time there was a great persecution against the church which was at Jerusalem; and they were all scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judæa and Samaria, except the apostles.
