Verse 41: The apostles left the Sanhedrin, rejoicing because they had been counted worthy of suffering disgrace for the Name.
Not only did they suffer disgrace, but they also physically suffered. They were jailed and beaten but their response wasn't fear or hiding, but they continued to preach publicly, proclaiming the name of Jesus! The Holy Spirit gave them courage, strength and joy - even in the face of suffering!
