Acts 13:50-52.
50 But the Jews stirred up the devout and prominent women and the chief men of the city, raised up persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and expelled them from their region. 51 But they shook off the dust from their feet against them, and came to Iconium. 52 And the disciples were filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit.
Persecution is often a collaborative effort. Faithful followers shake off the dust and rejoice to be worthy in suffering for His sake. So we are joyful in the Spirit when this happens as with Paul and Barnabas here.
