Paradox of Persecution
Acts 8:1-8
Skip Heitzig
Acts 8 (NKJV™) | |
1 | Now Saul was consenting to his death. At that time a great persecution arose against the church which was at Jerusalem; and they were all scattered throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except the apostles. |
2 | And devout men carried Stephen to his burial, and made great lamentation over him. |
3 | As for Saul, he made havoc of the church, entering every house, and dragging off men and women, committing them to prison. |
4 | Therefore those who were scattered went everywhere preaching the word. |
5 | Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria and preached Christ to them. |
6 | And the multitudes with one accord heeded the things spoken by Philip, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did. |
7 | For unclean spirits, crying with a loud voice, came out of many who were possessed; and many who were paralyzed and lame were healed. |
8 | And there was great joy in that city. |
