Acts 7:23-25

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

²³ And when he was in his fortieth year, it came into his heart to visit his kinsmen the children of Israel [^[a]to help them and to care for them].

²⁴ And on seeing one of them being unjustly treated, he defended the oppressed man and avenged him by striking down the Egyptian and slaying [him].

²⁵ He expected his brethren to understand that God was granting them deliverance by his hand [taking it for granted that they would accept him]; but they did not understand.
