Acts 7:31

Verse 31 of 60. The 7th of 28 chapters in Acts, in Acts.

27But he who did his neighbor wrong pushed him away, saying, ‘Who made you a ruler and a judge over us?

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

29Moses fled at this saying, and became a stranger in the land of Midian, where he became the father of two sons.

30“When forty years were fulfilled, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in the wilderness of Mount Sinai, in a flame of fire in a bush.

31When Moses saw it, he wondered at the sight. As he came close to see, the voice of the Lord came to him,

32‘I am the God of your fathers: the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.’ Moses trembled and dared not look.

33The Lord said to him, ‘Take off your sandals, for the place where you stand is holy ground.

34I have surely seen the affliction of my people who are in Egypt, and have heard their groaning. I have come down to deliver them. Now come, I will send you into Egypt.’

35“This Moses whom they refused, saying, ‘Who made you a ruler and a judge?’—God has sent him as both a ruler and a deliverer by the hand of the angel who appeared to him in the bush.
