Apostlenes gjerninger 7,26

Conflict and reconciliation

24 Da han så en av dem bli urettferdig behandlet, forsvarte han ham og hevnet den undertrykte ved å slå ned egypteren.

25 Han antok at hans brødre ville forstå at Gud ga dem frelse gjennom ham, men de gjorde det ikke.

Neste dag kom han over to israelitter som sloss og prøvde å forsone dem, og sa: ‘Menn, dere er brødre; hvorfor gjør dere hverandre urett?’

27 Men den som skadet sin nabo skjøv ham til side og sa: ‘Hvem har satt deg til hersker og dommer over oss?

28 Planlegger du å drepe meg som du gjorde med egypteren i går?’
