8,3 partial
SAULOS DE ELUMAINETO THN EKKLHSIAN KATA TOUS OIKOUS
EISPOREUOMENOS, 

The church mentioned in verse 1 is the church in
Jerusalem. It mentions that they were dispersed as a
result of the persecution. Many who resided in
Jerusalem were scattered to other regions beyond
Jerusalem. Verse 2 calls attention to the final
arrangements made for burying Stephen (in Jerusalem?).
And in verse 3 Saul is going house to house destroying
THN EKKLHSIAN. Would the reference to THN EKKLHSIAN in
verse 3 refer to the Jerusalem house-churches or any
of the house-churches throughout the region? I didn't
know if the definite article of verse 3, THN
EKKLHSIAN, pointed to a previous mention of EKKLHSIAN.
