Acts 7:37-39
The Voice
37 This Moses promised our ancestors, “The Eternal One your God will raise up from among your people a Prophet who will be like me.”[a] 38 This is the same one who led the people to Mount Sinai, where a heavenly messenger spoke to him and our ancestors, and who received the living message of God to give to us.
39 But our ancestors still resisted. They again pushed Moses away and refused to follow him. In their hearts, they were ready to return to their former slavery in Egypt.
