Acts 7:9-15
7:9 The
patriarchs, because they were jealous of Joseph, sold
him into Egypt. But
God was with him,
7:10 and rescued him from all his troubles, and granted him favor and wisdom in the presence of Pharaoh, king of Egypt, who made
him ruler over Egypt and over all his household.
7:11 Then a famine occurred throughout
Egypt and Canaan, causing
great suffering, and our
ancestors
could not find food.
7:12 So when Jacob heard that there was grain
in Egypt, he sent our ancestors
there
the first time.
7:13 On their second visit Joseph made himself known to his brothers again, and Joseph’s family
became known to Pharaoh.
7:14 So Joseph sent a message
and invited
his father Jacob and all his relatives to come, seventy-five people
in all.
7:15 So Jacob went down to Egypt and died there,
along with our ancestors,
Acts 7:27-28
7:27 But the man who was unfairly hurting his neighbor pushed
Moses
aside, saying, ‘
Who made you a ruler and judge over us?
7:28 You don’t want to kill me the way you killed the Egyptian yesterday, do you?’
Acts 7:51
7:51 “You stubborn people, with uncircumcised hearts and ears! You are always resisting the Holy Spirit, like your ancestors did!
