 [2 ](/kjv/acts/8/2) And devout men carried Stephen *to his burial*, and made great lamentation over him.
 
 [3 ](/kjv/acts/8/3) As for Saul, he made havock of the church, entering into every house, and haling men and women committed *them* to prison.
 
 [4 ](/kjv/acts/8/4) Therefore they that were scattered abroad went every where preaching the word.
 
 [5 ](/kjv/acts/8/5) Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and preached Christ unto them.
 
 [6 ](/kjv/acts/8/6) And the people with one accord gave heed unto those things which Philip spake, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did.
 
 [7 ](/kjv/acts/8/7) For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of many that were possessed *with them*: and many taken with palsies, and that were lame, were healed.
