Acts 7:38

Israel's Rebellion Against God

³⁷ This is the Moses who said to the children of Israel, ‘God will raise up for you a Prophet like me from your countrymen.’ ³⁸ This is the one who was in the congregation in the wilderness together with the Angel who spoke to him on Mount Sinai, and who was with our fathers; and he received living oracles [divine words that still live] to be handed down to you. ³⁹ Our fathers were unwilling to be subject to him [and refused to listen to him]. They rejected him, and in their hearts turned back to Egypt.
