Acts 8:3 in Context — Acts 8

1 Saul avait approuvé le meurtre d’Étienne. Il y eut, ce jour-là, une grande persécution contre l’Église de Jérusalem; et tous, excepté les apôtres, se dispersèrent dans les contrées de la Judée et de la Samarie.

2 Des hommes pieux ensevelirent Étienne, et le pleurèrent à grand bruit.

3 Saul, de son côté, ravageait l’Église; pénétrant dans les maisons, il en arrachait hommes et femmes, et les faisait jeter en prison.

4 Ceux qui avaient été dispersés allaient de lieu en lieu, annonçant la bonne nouvelle de la parole.

5 Philippe, étant descendu dans la ville de Samarie, y prêcha le Christ.
