Acts 5:38-41
38So in the present case, I say to you, stay away from these men and let them alone, for if this plan or 1action 2is of men, it will be overthrown; 39but if it is of God, you will not be able to overthrow them; or else you may even be found 3fighting against God.”
40They 4took his advice; and after calling the apostles in, they 5flogged them and ordered them not to 6speak in the name of Jesus, and then released them. 41So they went on their way from the presence of the 78Council, 9rejoicing that they had been considered worthy to suffer shame 10for His name.
