Acts 8:4 (KJV)
Commentary on Acts 8:4
Persecution's unintended consequence—'they that were scattered abroad went every where preaching'—demonstrates God's sovereignty in using opposition to fulfill His mission. The Greek 'diaspeiro' (scattered) suggests seed-sowing, with persecution becoming the mechanism for gospel dispersal. This fulfills Jesus' prediction that witnesses would spread from Jerusalem (Acts 1:8).
