Then they put under men, saying, That we have heard him speaking defaming words against Moses, and God.

For we have heard him saying; That Jesus the Nazarite shall abolish this place, and shall change the customs which Moses delivered to us.

In which time Moses was born, and he was shrewd to God, who was nourished up three months in his father's house:

And Moses was instructed in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and was powerful in words and in works.

And Moses fled at this word, and he was a sojourner in the land of Madian, where he begat two sons.

And Moses having seen, wondered at the sight: and he coming near to observe attentively, the voice of the Lord was to him,

I the God of thy fathers, God of Abraham, and God of Isaac, and God of Jacob. And Moses being trembling, dared not observe attentively.

And certain of them from the sect of the Pharisees having believed, rose up, saying, That they must be circumcised, and to enjoin to keep the law of Moses.

For Moses of ancient generations has them proclaiming him in every city, being read in the synagogues in every sabbath.

And they were taught about thee, that thou teachest apostasy from Moses, all the Jews among the nations, saying, they are not to circumcise children, nor walk in the customs.

Therefore having obtained assistance from God, till this day do I stand, testifying both to small and great, saying nothing but what both the prophets and Moses spake being about to be:

And having appointed him a day, many came to him to the lodging; to whom testifying, he set forth the kingdom of God, and persuading them concerning Jesus, both from the law of Moses, and the prophets, from morn to eve.
