| Acts 5:41 | And they indeed went from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were accounted worthy to suffer reproach for the name of Jesus. | Rejoicing. The joy of the apostles on the present occasion, is one of the greatest of miracles. Only the yoke of Jesus could make this sweet. But so the faithful servants of God have always found it. In tribulation, they abounded in inward peace and joy, which made them insensible of their exterior sufferings. (Haydock) |
