Moses said, 'The Lord God will raise up a prophet for you from among your brothers, as he raised me up. You must listen to everything that he tells you.

So they instigated people to say, "We have heard him use abusive language about Moses and about God."

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

It was at this time that Moses was born. He was a wonderfully beautiful child, and for three months he was taken care of in his father's house.

So Moses was educated in all the Egyptian culture; he was strong in speech and action.

At those words Moses fled, and went and lived for a time in Midian, and two sons were born to him there.

When Moses saw it he wondered at the sight, and when he went up to see what it was, the voice of the Lord said,

'I am the God of your forefathers, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.' Moses was terrified and did not dare to look at it.

The Moses whom they had refused, saying to him, 'Who made you our ruler and judge?' God sent both to rule and to deliver them, with the help of the angel who had appeared to him in the bush.

This was the Moses who said to the descendants of Israel, 'God will make a prophet rise from among your brothers to teach you, just as he made me rise.'

for they said to Aaron, 'Make us gods to march in front of us, for as for this Moses, who brought us out of Egypt, we do not know what has become of him!'

In the desert our forefathers had the Tent of the Testimony built like the model Moses had seen, just as he who spoke to him told him to make it.

and that through union with him everyone who believes is cleared of every charge of which the Law of Moses could not clear you.

Some people came down from Judea and began to teach the brothers that unless they were circumcised as Moses prescribed, they could not be saved.

But some members of the Pharisees' party who had become believers got up and said that such converts ought to be circumcised and told to obey the Law of Moses.

For Moses for generations past has had his preachers in every town, and has been read aloud in the synagogues every Sabbath."

They have been told that you teach all Jews who live among the heathen to turn away from Moses, and that you tell them not to circumcise their children nor to observe the old customs.

To this day I have had God's help and I stand here to testify to high and low alike, without adding a thing to what Moses and the prophets declared would happen,

So they fixed a day, and came in even larger numbers to the place where he was staying, and from morning till night he explained to them the Kingdom of God and gave his testimony, trying to convince them about Jesus from the Law of Moses and the Prophets.
