Moses said, 'The Lord God will raise up for you a prophet like me from your brethren; you shall listen to everything he tells you.

Then they secretly induced men to say, "We have heard him speak blasphemous words against Moses and against God."

for we have heard him say that this Jesus of Nazareth will destroy this place, and will change the customs which Moses handed down to us."

At this time Moses was born, and was beautiful before God. And he was brought up for three months in his father's house;

Moses was educated in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and he was mighty in his words and deeds.

At this remark Moses fled, and became an exile in the land of Midian, where he became the father of two sons.

When Moses saw it, he was amazed at the sight; and as he approached to look more closely, there came the voice of the Lord:

'I am the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham and Isaac and Jacob.' Moses trembled with fear and did not dare to look.

This Moses whom they rejected, saying, 'Who made you a ruler and a judge?' is the one God sent to be both a ruler and a deliverer by the hand of the angel who appeared to him in the bush.

This is the Moses who said to the Israelites, 'God will raise up for you a prophet like me from your brethren.'

saying to Aaron, 'Make for us gods who will go before us; as for this Moses who led us out from the land of Egyptwe do not know what has happened to him.'

"Our fathers had the tabernacle of testimony in the wilderness, just as he who spoke to Moses directed him to make it according to the pattern which he had seen.

and through him everyone who believes is freed from everything from which you could not be freed by the law of Moses.

But some men came down from Judea and were teaching the brethren, "Unless you are circumcised according to the custom of Moses, you cannot be saved."

But some believers who belonged to the party of the Pharisees stood up, and said, "It is necessary to circumcise them, and to charge them to keep the Law of Moses."

For Moses from ancient generations has in every city those who preach him, since he is read in the synagogues every Sabbath."

and they have been told about you that you teach all the Jews who are among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, telling them not to circumcise their children or to walk according to the customs.

To this day I have had the help that comes from God, and so I stand here testifying both to small and great, saying nothing but what the prophets and Moses said would happen:

When they had appointed a day for Paul, they came to him at his lodging in great numbers. And he explained the matter to them from morning till evening, testifying to the kingdom of God and trying to convince them about Jesus both from the law of Moses and from the prophets.
