8:1And 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 Judaea and Samaria, except the apostles.

8:2And devout men carried Stephen to his burial, and made great lamentation over him.

8:3As for Saul, he made havock of the church, entering into every house, and haling men and women committed them to prison.

8:4Therefore they that were scattered abroad went every where preaching the word.

11:19Now they which were scattered abroad upon the persecution that arose about Stephen travelled as far as Phenice, and Cyprus, and Antioch, preaching the word to none but unto the Jews only.

11:20And some of them were men of Cyprus and Cyrene, which, when they were come to Antioch, spake unto the Grecians, preaching the Lord Jesus.

11:21And the hand of the Lord was with them: and a great number believed, and turned unto the Lord.
