Acts 7:23-30

23But when he was approaching the age of forty, 1it entered his 2mind to visit his countrymen, the sons of Israel. 24And when he saw one of them being treated unjustly, he defended and took vengeance for the oppressed man by fatally striking the Egyptian. 25And he thought that his brothers understood that God was granting them 3deliverance 4through him; but they did not understand. 265And on the following day he appeared to them as they were fighting each other, and he tried to reconcile them to peace, by saying, ‘Men, you are brothers, why are you injuring each other?’ 27But the one who was injuring his neighbor pushed him away, saying, ‘6Who made you a ruler and judge over us? 287You do not intend to kill me as you killed the Egyptian yesterday, do you?’ 29At this remark, 8Moses fled and became a stranger in the land of 9Midian, where he 10fathered two sons.
