Acts Chapter 6 - Nathanael

So they stirred up the people and the elders and the teachers of the law. They seized Stephen and brought him before the Sanhedrin. They produced false witnesses, who testified, "This fellow never stops speaking against this holy place and against the law.
Acts 6:12‭-‬13 NIV

Just as in Jesus' case, Stephen is falsely accused.  Sometimes we have the false idea that if we don't do anything wrong, we won't be harmed or persecuted.  But if we are following Jesus, he promised persecution.  But the Holy Spirit gives courage to face up to false accusation, and just as the disciples did in Chapter 5, we can even be joyful that we are considered worthy to suffer for Christ's name!  Amazing!
