Acts 5:38-41

38So in the present case I tell you, keep away from these men and let them alone, for if this plan or this undertaking is of man, it will fail;

39but if it is of God, you will not be able to overthrow them. You might even be found opposing God!" So they took his advice,

40and when they had called in the apostles, they beat them and charged them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go.

41Then they left the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer dishonor for the name.
