Acts 7:23-30

21st Century King James Version

²³ “And when he was fully 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 him, and avenged him who was oppressed, and struck down the Egyptian,

²⁵ for he supposed his brethren would have understood how God, by his hand, would deliver them; but they understood not.

²⁶ And the next day he showed himself unto them as they were quarreling, and would have set them at one again, saying, ‘Sirs, ye are brethren; why do ye wrong one another?’

²⁷ But he that was doing his neighbor wrong thrust him away, saying, ‘Who made thee a ruler and judge over us?

²⁸ Wilt thou kill me as thou didst the Egyptian yesterday?’

²⁹ Then Moses fled at this saying and became a stranger in the land of Midian, where he begot two sons.

³⁰ “And when forty years had expired, there appeared to him in the wilderness of Mount Sinai an angel of the Lord, in a flame of fire in a bush.
