Acts 5:40-42

Living Bible

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. ⁴² And every day, in the Temple and in their home Bible classes, they continued to teach and preach that Jesus is the Messiah.
