At which time Moses came to birth, and he was very beautiful; and he was kept for three months in his father's house:

And Moses was trained in all the wisdom of Egypt, and was great in his words and works.

But when he was almost forty years old, it came into his heart to go and see his brothers, the children of Israel.

And seeing one of them being attacked, he went to his help and gave the Egyptian a death-blow:

And he was hoping that his brothers would see that God had sent him to be their saviour; but they did not see.

But the man who was doing wrong to his neighbour, pushing him away, said, Who made you a ruler and a judge over us?

I am the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham and of Isaac and of Jacob. And Moses, shaking with fear, kept his eyes from looking at it.

But Solomon was the builder of his house.

But still, the Most High has not his resting-place in houses made with hands, as the prophet says,

And going down on his knees, he said in a loud voice, Lord, do not make them responsible for this sin. And when he had said this, he went to his rest.

And they gave attention to him, because for a long time his wonder-working powers had kept them under his control.

He was going back, seated in his carriage, and was reading the book of the prophet Isaiah.

And the Spirit said to Philip, Go near, and get on his carriage.

And he said, How is that possible when I have no guide? And he made Philip get up by his side.

Being of low degree, his cause was not given a hearing: who has knowledge of his family? for his life is cut off from the earth.

And when they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord took Philip away; and the Ethiopian saw him no more, for he went on his way full of joy.

And Saul got up from the earth, and when his eyes were open, he saw nothing; and he was guided by the hand into Damascus.

And he has seen a man named Ananias coming in and putting his hands on him, so that he may be able to see.

And Ananias went out and came to the house, and putting his hands on him, said, Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus, whom you saw when you were on your journey, has sent me, so that you may be able to see, and be full of the Holy Spirit.
