• ADA024 The Apostles' Surprising Reaction

    After being flogged by the Sanhedrin, the apostles react surprisingly, rejoicing that they have been considered worthy to suffer for Jesus' name. Far from being discouraged, they continue their ministry every day in the Temple and in people's homes, teaching and proclaiming the good news. Luke shows that persecution, far from stopping the Gospel, paradoxically contributes to its spread.

    Acts 5.38-39 (King James Version) :
    And now I say unto you, Refrain from these men, and let them alone: for if this counsel or this work be of men, it will come to nought:But if it be of God, ye can not overthrow it; lest haply ye be found even to fight against God.
