Acts 7:23-29

New Revised Standard NRS

23 "When he was forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his relatives, the Israelites.

24 When he saw one of them being wronged, he defended the oppressed man and avenged him by striking down the Egyptian.

25 He supposed that his kinsfolk would understand that God through him was rescuing them, but they did not understand.

26 The next day he came to some of them as they were quarreling and tried to reconcile them, saying, "Men, you are brothers; why do you wrong each other?'

27 But the man who was wronging his neighbor pushed Moses aside, saying, "Who made you a ruler and a judge over us?

28 Do you want to kill me as you killed the Egyptian yesterday?'

29 When he heard this, Moses fled and became a resident alien in the land of Midian. There he became the father of two sons.
