0:00.0 | Hey Bible readers, I'm Tara Lee Cobble, and I'm your host for the Bible Recap. |
0:12.9 | Yesterday we met Saul, a powerful half Roman, half Jewish Pharisee in Jerusalem. |
0:18.0 | Due in part to his violent acts against the disciples, most of them leave the city. |
0:22.5 | Today he decides to hunt down anyone who belongs to the way, which is what they were calling |
