Matthew 10:17-20
But beware of men: for they will deliver you up to councils, and in their synagogues they will scourge you;yea and before governors and kings shall ye be brought for my sake, for a testimony to them and to the Gentiles.But when they deliver you up, be not anxious how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that hour what ye shall speak.For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father that speaketh in you.

Acts 4:5-7
And it came to pass on the morrow, that their rulers and elders and scribes were gathered together in Jerusalem;and Annas the high priest was there, and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the kindred of the high priest.And when they had set them in the midst, they inquired, By what power, or in what name, have ye done this?

But take ye heed to yourselves: for they shall deliver you up to councils; and in synagogues shall ye be beaten; and before governors and kings shall ye stand for my sake, for a testimony unto them.And the gospel must first be preached unto all the nations.And when they lead you to judgment, and deliver you up, be not anxious beforehand what ye shall speak: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye; for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Spirit.

Acts 5:27-32
And when they had brought them, they set them before the council. And the high priest asked them,saying, We strictly charged you not to teach in this name: and behold, ye have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and intend to bring this man’s blood upon us.But Peter and the apostles answered and said, We must obey God rather than men.The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew, hanging him on a tree.Him did God exalt with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, to give repentance to Israel, and remission of sins.And we are witnesses of these things; and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God hath given to them that obey him.

Acts 6:9-15
But there arose certain of them that were of the synagogue called the synagogue of the Libertines, and of the Cyrenians, and of the Alexandrians, and of them of Cilicia and Asia, disputing with Stephen.And they were not able to withstand the wisdom and the Spirit by which he spake.Then they suborned men, who said, We have heard him speak blasphemous words against Moses, and against God.And they stirred up the people, and the elders, and the scribes, and came upon him, and seized him, and brought him into the council,and set up false witnesses, who said, This man ceaseth not to speak words against this holy place, and the law:for we have heard him say, that this Jesus of Nazareth shall destroy this place, and shall change the customs which Moses delivered unto us.And all that sat in the council, fastening their eyes on him, saw his face as it had been the face of an angel.
