The People Attacked the Believers [45-06]
A young man named Saul agreed with the people who killed Stephen and guarded their robes while they threw stones at him. That day, many people in Jerusalem started persecuting the followers of Jesus, so the believers fled to other places. But in spite of this, they preached about Jesus everywhere they went.
因此，他们就下了水，腓利为他施洗。从水里上来后，主的灵把腓利提取了别的地方，继续在各城宣传福音。

Translation Notes:
- guarded their robes - This could be translated as, "watched over their coats." He was probably making sure they didn't get stolen or damaged.
- But in spite of this - The Jewish leaders thought they could stop the spread of Jesus' teaching by persecuting his followers. Instead, this caused them to scatter and spread the message even more widely.
