Saul Persecutes the Church

1 Now Saul was consenting to his death. At that time a great persecution arose against the church which was at Jerusalem; and athey were all scattered throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except the apostles.  
2 And devout men carried Stephen to his burial, and amade great lamentation over him.  
3 As for Saul, ahe made havoc of the church, entering every house, and dragging off men and women, committing them to prison.

Acts 8:1

At that time there was great persecution against the Church - Their adversaries having tasted blood, were the more eager. And they were all dispersed - Not all the Church: if so, who would have remained for the apostles to teach, or Saul to persecute? But all the teachers except the apostles, who, though in the most danger, stayed with the flock.
