Acts 7:17-19

New Testament for Everyone

Stephen and Moses

¹⁷ “God had sworn an oath to Abraham,” Stephen continued. “When the time drew near for this promise to be fulfilled, the people had increased and multiplied in Egypt, ¹⁸ until another king arose over Egypt, one who had not known Joseph. ¹⁹ He got the better of our people, and ill-treated our ancestors, forcing them to abandon their newborn children so that they would die.
