       Acts 5:40-42 King James Version (KJV)
       40 And to him they agreed: and when they had called the
       apostles, and beaten them, they commanded that they should not
       speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go.
       41 And they departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing
       that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for his name.
       42 And daily in the temple, and in every house, they ceased not
       to teach and preach Jesus Christ.
       Acts 5:40-42
       NHEB 40 They agreed with him. Summoning the apostles, they beat
       them and commanded them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and
       let them go. 41 They therefore departed from the presence of the
       council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer
       dishonor for the Name. 42 Every day, in the temple and at home,
       they never stopped teaching and proclaiming that Jesus is the
       Messiah.
       These are my thoughts, please share yours.
       40 The people agreed with the man, this is because he spoke
       sense, it was worldly sense though. They beat them, if it was of
       God as the man said should they have beaten them, no, this shows
       regardless they stood against God. People may tell us not
       mention Jesus, but we answer to God first not man, we are to
       listen to God in spite of what men may do to us.
       41 They praised God because Christ was beaten and they knew it
       was their honor to share this with Him. We may be beaten for our
       faith, we should give God praise that we still are alive to
       share Him with others, sometimes the worse thing is to get no
       reaction, hate shows they were doing what they should. The only
       good thing the men did was let the apostles go.
       42 They kept on doing what Jesus wanted them to do and not what
       the men wanted them to do. There is nothing better we can do
       than spread the name of Jesus.
