Atti 7:25 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 7:25

For he supposed his brethren would have understood him,
&c.] From his being an Hebrew in such high life; from his wonderful birth, and miraculous preservation in his infancy, and education in Pharaoh's court; and from the promise of God that he would visit them and save them:

how that God by his hand would deliver them:
wherefore he was the more emboldened to kill the Egyptian, believing that his brethren would make no advantage of it against him; but look upon it as a beginning and pledge of their deliverance by him:

but they understood not;
or "him not", as the Ethiopic version reads; they did not understand that he was to be their deliverer, or that this action of his was a token of it.

Atti 7:25 In-Context

23 E, quando egli fu pervenuto all’età di quarant’anni, gli montò nel cuore d’andare a visitare i suoi fratelli, i figliuoli d’Israele.
24 E, vedutone uno a cui era fatto torto, egli lo soccorse; e fece la vendetta dell’oppressato, uccidendo l’Egizio.
25 Or egli stimava che i suoi fratelli intendessero che Iddio era per dar loro salute per man sua; ma essi non l’intesero.
26 E il giorno seguente egli comparve fra loro, mentre contendevano; ed egli li incitò a pace, dicendo: O uomini, voi siete fratelli, perchè fate torto gli uni agli altri?
27 Ma colui che faceva torto al suo prossimo lo ributtò, dicendo: Chi ti ha costituito principe, e giudice sopra noi?
