Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

8 And at that time there was raised a great persecution against the church which was at Jerusalem; and they were all dispersed through the countries of Judea, and Samaria, except the apostles.

² And devout men took order for Stephen's funeral, and made great mourning over him.

³ But Saul made havock of the church, entering in from house to house, and dragging away men and women, committed them to prison.
