Acts 5:39-41

Living Bible

³⁹ But if it is of God, you will not be able to stop them, lest you find yourselves fighting even against God.”

⁴⁰ The Council accepted his advice, called in the apostles, had them beaten, and then told them never again to speak in the name of Jesus, and finally let them go. ⁴¹ They left the Council chamber rejoicing that God had counted them worthy to suffer dishonor for his name.
