For Moses said to the fathers, A prophet like me shall the Lord your God raise up for you from among your brethren; him shall you hear in all things that he shall say to you.

Then they instigated men to say: We have heard him speak impious words against Moses, and against God.

For we have heard him say, that this Jesus the Nazarene will destroy this place, and will change the customs which Moses delivered to us.

At which time Moses was born; and he was exceedingly beautiful, and was nursed three months in his father's house.

And Moses was instructed in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and was mighty in words and in deeds.

And at that saying Moses fled, and became a resident in the land of Midian, where he begot two sons.

When Moses saw it, he wondered at the sight, and as he was drawing near to observe it, the voice of the Lord came to him:

I am the God of your fathers, the God of Abra ham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses trembled, and durst not observe it.

This Moses, whom they rejected, saying, Who made you a ruler and a judge? him God sent as a ruler and as a redeemer, by the hand of the angel that appeared to him in the bush.

This is that Moses, who said to the sons of Israel, A prophet like me will the Lord your God raise up for you from among your brethren; him shall you hear.

saying to Aaron: Make us gods that shall go be fore us; for, as for this Moses, who brought us out of the land of Egypt, we know not what has become of him.

The tabernacle of the testimony was with our fathers in the wilderness, built as he who spoke to Moses commanded him to build it, according to the pattern which he had seen:

and by him, every one that believes is justified from all things, from which you could not be justified by the law of Moses.

And certain men came down from Judea, and taught the brethren, saying: Unless you be circumcised, according to the custom of Moses, you can not be saved.

But some of the sect of the Pharisees, who believed, arose, saying, that it was necessary to circumcise them, and to command them to keep the law of Moses.

For, from ancient times, Moses has, in every city, those who preach him, being read in the synagogue every sabbath-day.

And they have heard it reported of you, that you teach all the Jews that are among the Gentiles to apostatize from Moses; commanding them not to circumcise their children, nor to walk according to the customs.

Having, therefore, obtained help from God, I have stood till this day, testifying both to small and to great, saying nothing else than the things which the prophets and Moses did say should come to pass:

And when they had appointed him a day, many came to him at his lodging; to whom, from morning till evening;, he earnestly testified, and set forth the kingdom of God, persuading them concerning Jesus, both from the law of Moses, and from the prophets.
