Scriptures

New King James Version (NKJV)

Acts 7
²⁰ At this time Moses was born, and was well pleasing to God; and he was brought up in his father’s house for three months.
²¹ But when he was set out, Pharaoh’s daughter took him away and brought him up as her own son.
²² And Moses was learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and was mighty in words and deeds.
²³ Now when he was forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brethren, the children of Israel.
²⁴ And seeing one of them suffer wrong, he defended and avenged him who was oppressed, and struck down the Egyptian.
²⁵ For he supposed that his brethren would have understood that God would deliver them by his hand, but they did not understand.
²⁶ And the next day he appeared to two of them as they were fighting, and tried to reconcile them, saying, ’Men, you are brethren; why do you wrong one another?’
²⁷ But he who did his neighbor wrong pushed him away, saying, ’Who made you a ruler and a judge over us?
²⁸ Do you want to kill me as you did the Egyptian yesterday?’
²⁹ Then, at this saying, Moses fled and became a dweller in the land of Midian, where he had two sons.
³⁰ And when forty years had passed, an Angel of the Lord appeared to him in a flame of fire in a bush, in the wilderness of Mount Sinai.
