Saul Ravages the Church

8 And ^bSaul ^capproved of his execution.

And there arose on that day a great persecution against the church in Jerusalem, and ^dthey were all scattered throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except the apostles.

20 And when the blood of Stephen ^jyour witness was being shed, ^kI myself was standing by and ^lapproving and ^kwatching over the garments of those who killed him.’

6 it ^kdoes not rejoice at wrongdoing, but ^lrejoices with the truth.

12 in order that all may be condemned ^vwho did not believe the truth but ^whad pleasure in unrighteousness.
