Acts 7:27-37

²⁷But the man who was doing wrong to his neighbour, pushing him away, said, Who made you a ruler and a judge over us?

²⁸Will you put me to death as you did the Egyptian yesterday?

²⁹And at these words, Moses went in flight to the land of Midian, and was living there for a time, and had two sons.

³⁰At the end of forty years, an angel came to him in the waste land of Sinai, in the flame of a burning thorn-tree.

³¹And Moses, seeing it, was full of wonder, and when he came up to have a nearer view of it, the voice of the Lord came to him, saying,

³²I am the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham and of Isaac and of Jacob. And Moses, shaking with fear, kept his eyes from looking at it.

³³And the Lord said, Take off the shoes from your feet, for the place where you are is holy.

³⁴Truly, I have seen the sorrows of my people in Egypt, and their cries have come to my ears, and I have come down to make them free: and now, come, I will send you to Egypt.

³⁵This Moses, whom they would not have, saying, Who made you a ruler and a judge? him God sent to be a ruler and a saviour, by the hand of the angel whom he saw in the thorn-tree.

³⁶This man took them out, having done wonders and signs in Egypt and in the Red Sea and in the waste land, for forty years.

³⁷This is the same Moses, who said to the children of Israel, God will give you a prophet from among your brothers, like me.
