Acts 8:3 As for Saul, he made havoc of the church, entering into every house, and haling men and women committed them to prison. When I am driven from the city, I care nothing for it; but I say to myself, If the empress wishes to banish me, the earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof. If she would saw me in sunder, let her do it; I have Isaiah for a pattern. If she would plunge me into the sea, I remember Jonah. If she would thrust me into the fiery furnace, I see the three Hebrew children enduring that. If she would cast me to the wild beasts, I call to mind Daniel in the den of lions. If she would take my head from me, I think of John the Baptist. If she would deprive me of worldly goods, let her do it; naked came I into the world, and naked I shall go out of it. ( Chrysostom.)
