The Acts
Chapters 7:22-28
Revised Version 1885
22And Moses was instructed in all the wisdom of the Egyptians; and he was mighty in his words and works.
23But when he was well-nigh forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brethren the children of Israel.
24And seeing one of them suffer wrong, he defended him, and avenged him that was oppressed, smiting the Egyptian:
25and he supposed that his brethren understood how that God by his hand was giving them deliverance; but they understood not.
26And the day following he appeared unto them as they strove, and would have set them at one again, saying, Sirs, ye are brethren; why do ye wrong one to another?
27But he that did his neighbour wrong thrust him away, saying, Who made thee a ruler and a judge over us?
28Wouldest thou kill me, as thou killedst the Egyptian yesterday?
