CHAPTER XI The Gospel in Samaria Aftek the death of Stephen, there arose against the believers in Jerusalem a persecution so relentless that ''they were all scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria.'^ Saul ''made havoc of the church, entering into every house, and haling men and women committed them to prison." Of his zeal in this cruel work he said at a later date: "I verily thought with myself, that I ought to do many things contrary to the name of Jesus of Nazareth. Which thing I also did in Jerusalem: and many of the saints did I shut up in prison. . . . And I punished them oft in every synagogue, and compelled them to blaspheme; and being exceedingly mad against them, I persecuted them even unto strange cities.'' That Stephen was not the only one who suffered death may be seen from Saul's own words, "And when they were put to death, I gave my voice against them. ' ' ' ^ Acts 26 : 9-11. This chapter is based on Acts 8. (103)
