Acts Chapter 9
Even after Stephen was murdered, the gospel was still being taught throughout the land. Peter, as well as others, were teaching and healing through the power of the Holy Spirit, and many Jews and Gentiles were taught and accepted the truth of the gospel. One of these converted was the most unlikelyist of Jews, Saul of Tarsus. Saul's life changed forever after being blinded by the light, much to the dismay of Jewish leadership who hatched a plan to make an example of him to other Jews that may be tempted to follow Saul's change of heart.

After the death of Stephen, Saul brought great persecution upon the Church chasing its’ leaders throughout Samaria and Gentile cities as they spread the gospel. Saul’s plan to eradicate Christianity didn’t work the way he had desired as Christianity only gained more followers. One of these church leaders was Philip. In Acts 8, Luke tells two stories about Philip, the first is his encounter with a sorcerer who tries to buy the power of the Holy Spirit, and the other involves teleportation and an Ethiopian Eunuch.

Some Jews began teaching that Gentiles could not be saved unless they were circumcised. Paul and Barnabas challenged them, and ultimately this dispute
was brought before the Church in Jerusalem where the decision was made stating circumcision was not required due to references in the Old Testament, which
presentated by James. Paul, who was in Antioch, spoke with Barnabas regarding meeting with the bretheren in all the cities the ministered in, to see how
they were doing. Barnabas wanted to take John Mark with them, but Paul said no, so Mark went with Barnabas and Silas went with Paul.
