Read Acts 8.2-3. In 8.2-25.15: Scattered throughout the countryside. In 8.2-3: Scattered by persecution: The severe persecution (which lasts until 9.31) appears to the be focused on the Hellenists. The apostles (6.2) were excepted. The mission moves beyond Jerusalem to Judea and Samaria in accord with the promise (1.8; see also 9.31). devout Jews attended to proper burials (Lk 23.50; 9.59-60) with lamentation (Lk 23.27, 48). Acts 9.2; 22.4-5; 26.10 claim Saul acted under the high priests authority. Jesus word in Lk 21.12 identifies such persecution as within God's plan (see Acts 12.4; 16.23). Comments or Questions..
