Then the high priest rose up, and all those who were with him (which is the sect of the Sadducees), and they were filled with envy. (Acts 5:17)
The apostles of Christ did the Father’s work and the miracles happened because their work showed, which made all the difference. So they reached success and disturbed hell and the servants of the devil.
Generally, when a person’s work begins to bear fruit someone who would like to be in their place starts persecuting them and creating situations to harm them. That’s what happened with the apostles. They were thrown into prison (Acts 5:18) but the Lord sent His angel and delivered them.
If someone is jealous of you, do not fear for God is on your side. This also shows that you are a winner because no one is jealous of a loser.
Peace be with you.
