Acts 7:20-29

20It was at this time that 1Moses was born; and he was lovely 2in the sight of God, and he was nurtured three months in his father’s home. 21And after he had been set outside, 3Pharaoh’s daughter 4took him away and nurtured him as her own son. 22Moses was educated in all 5the learning of the Egyptians, and he was a man of power in words and deeds. 23But when he was approaching the age of forty, 6it entered his 7mind to visit his brethren, the sons of Israel. 24And when he saw one of them being treated unjustly, he defended him and took vengeance for the oppressed by striking down the Egyptian. 25And he supposed that his brethren understood that God was granting them 8deliverance 9through him, but they did not understand. 2610On the following day he appeared to them as they were fighting together, and he tried to reconcile them in peace, saying, ‘Men, you are brethren, why do you injure one another?’ 27But the one who was injuring his neighbor pushed him away, saying, ‘11Who made you a ruler and judge over us? 2812You do not mean to kill me as you killed the Egyptian yesterday, do you?’ 29At this remark, 13Moses fled and became an alien in the land of 14Midian, where he 15became the father of two sons.
