Act Skutky, kapitola Skutky apoštolů, kapitola 8

Velké pronásledování rozptýlilo věřící

Kristovi následovníci odnesli Štěpánovo tělo a pohřbili je. Církev byla velice zarmoucena jeho smrtí. Pro křesťany v Jeruzalémě nastaly zlé časy a všichni – kromě apoštolů – se rozptýlili po Judsku i Samařsku. Saul se teď chopil iniciativy: pronásledoval církev, vnikal do soukromých domů a dával zatýkat věřící muže a ženy, kteří se tam scházeli. Act 11:19; Act 9:1; Act 22:4; Act 26:10; 1Co 15:9; Gal 1:13
