THE SPREAD OF THE GOOD NEWS

 That day a bitter persecution started against the church in Jerusalem, and
everyone except the apostles fled to the country districts of Judea and Samaria.

There were some devout people, however, who buried Stephen and made
great mourning for him. Saul then worked for the total destruction of the
Church; he went from house to house arresting both men and women and
sending them to prison.

Those who escaped went from place to place preaching the Good News.
One of them was Philip who went to a Samaritan town and proclaimed
Christ to them.  The people united in welcoming the message Philip
preached ..................... As a result there was great rejoicing in that town
