Acts 5:38-41

38So in this case I say to you, stay away from these men and leave them alone, because if this plan or this undertaking originates with people, it will come to nothing,

39but if it is from God, you will not be able to stop them, or you may even be found fighting against God.” He convinced them,

40and they summoned the apostles and had them beaten. Then they ordered them not to speak in the name of Jesus and released them.

41So they left the council rejoicing because they had been considered worthy to suffer dishonor for the sake of the name.
