1 Saulius pritarė Stepono nužudymui. Tomis dienomis prasidėjo didelis Jeruzalės bažnyčios persekiojimas. Visi, išskyrus apaštalus, išsisklaidė po Judėjos ir Samarijos apylinkes.

1 Saul was consenting to his death. A great persecution arose against the assembly which was in Jerusalem in that day. They were all scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except for the apostles.
