Acts 7:21

Verse 21 of 60. The 7th of 28 chapters in Acts, in Acts.

17“But as the time of the promise came close which God had sworn to Abraham, the people grew and multiplied in Egypt,

18until there arose a different king who didn’t know Joseph.

19The same took advantage of our race and mistreated our fathers, and forced them to abandon their babies, so that they wouldn’t stay alive.

20At that time Moses was born, and was exceedingly handsome to God. He was nourished three months in his father’s house.

21When he was abandoned, Pharaoh’s daughter took him up and reared him as her own son.

22Moses was instructed in all the wisdom of the Egyptians. He was mighty in his words and works.

23But when he was forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brothers, the children of Israel.

24Seeing one of them suffer wrong, he defended him and avenged him who was oppressed, striking the Egyptian.

25He supposed that his brothers understood that God, by his hand, was giving them deliverance; but they didn’t understand.
