Acts 5:38-41
38And so in the present case, I say to you, stay away from these men and leave them alone, for if the source of this plan or 1movement 2is men, it will be overthrown; 39but if the source is God, you will not be able to overthrow them; or else you may even be found 3fighting against God.”
40They followed his advice; and after calling the apostles in, they 4flogged them and ordered them not to 5speak in the name of Jesus, and then released them. 41So they went on their way from the presence of the 67Council, 8rejoicing that they had been considered worthy to suffer shame 9for His name.
