Acts 5:41

5:41 So they left the council rejoicing because they had been considered worthy to suffer dishonor for the sake of the name.

sn That is, considered worthy by God. They “gloried in their shame” of honoring Jesus with their testimony (Luke 6:22-23; 2 Macc 6:30).

sn The name refers to the name of Jesus (cf. 3 John 7).
