| 1 | The high priest said, "Are these things so?" | Ac 6:13 Ac 6:14 Mt 26:61 Mt 26:62 Mk 14:58-60 Jn 18:19-21 Jn 18:33-35 |
| 2 | He said, "Brothers and fathers, listen. The God of glory appeared to our father Abraham, when he was in Mesopotamia, before he lived in Haran, | Ac 22:1 Ac 23:7 |
| 3 | and said to him, `Get out of your land, and from your relatives, and come into a land which I will show you.` | Gn 12:1 Mt 10:37 Lk 14:33 2Co 6:17 Heb 11:8 |
| 4 | Then he came out of the land of the Chaldaeans, and lived in Haran. From there, when his father was dead, God moved him into this land, where you are now living. | Gn 11:31 Gn 11:32 Gn 12:4 Gn 12:5 Isa 41:2 Isa 41:9 |
| 5 | He gave him no inheritance in it, no, not so much as to set his foot on. He promised that he would give it to him in possession, and to his seed after him, when he still had no child. | Gn 23:4 Ps 105:11 Ps 105:12 Heb 11:9 Heb 11:10 Heb 11:13-16 |
| 6 | God spoke thus, that his seed would live as aliens in a strange land, and that they would be enslaved and mistreated for four hundred years. | Gn 15:13 Gn 15:16 |
| 7 | `I will judge the nation to which they will be in bondage,` said God, `and after that will they come out, and serve me in this place.` | Gn 15:14-16 Ex 7:1-14 Ne 9:9-11 Ps 74:12-14 Ps 78:43-51 Ps 105:27-36 Ps 135:8 Ps 135:9 Ps 136:10-15 Isa 51:9 Isa 51:10 |
| 8 | He gave him the covenant of circumcision. So Abraham became the father of Isaac, and circumcised him the eighth day. Isaac became the father of Jacob, and Jacob became the father of the twelve patriarchs. | Gn 17:9-14 Jn 7:22 Ro 4:10 Ga 3:15 Ga 3:17 |
| 9 | "The patriarchs, moved with jealousy against Joseph, sold him into Egypt. God was with him, | Gn 37:4-11 Gn 49:23 Mt 27:18 |
| 10 | and delivered him out of all his afflictions, and gave him favor and wisdom before Pharaoh, king of Egypt. He made him governor over Egypt and all his house. | Gn 48:16 Ps 22:24 Ps 34:17-19 Ps 37:40 Ps 40:1-3 2Ti 4:18 Jm 5:11 Rev 7:14 |
| 11 | Now a famine came over all the land of Egypt and Canaan, and great affliction. Our fathers found no food. | Gn 41:54-57 Gn 43:1 Gn 45:5 Gn 45:6 Gn 45:11 Gn 47:13-15 Ps 105:16 |
| 12 | But when Jacob heard that there was grain in Egypt, he sent forth our fathers the first time. | Gn 42:1-24 Gn 43:2 |
| 13 | On the second time Joseph was made known to his brothers, and Joseph`s race was revealed to Pharaoh. | Gn 45:1-18 Gn 46:31-34 Gn 47:1-10 |
| 14 | Joseph sent, and called Jacob, his father, to him, and all his relatives, seventy-five souls. | Gn 45:9-11 Ps 105:23 |
| 15 | Jacob went down into Egypt, and he died, himself and our fathers, | Gn 46:3-7 Nm 20:15 Dt 10:22 Dt 26:5 Jsh 24:4 |
| 16 | and they were brought back to Shechem, and laid in the tomb that Abraham bought for a price in silver from the sons of Hamor of Shechem. | Ex 13:19 Jsh 24:32 |
| 17 | "But as the time of the promise came close which God swore to Abraham, the people grew and multiplied in Egypt, | Ac 7:6 Gn 15:13-16 2Pe 3:8 2Pe 3:9 |
| 18 | until there arose a different king, who didn`t know Joseph. | Ex 1:8 |
| 19 | The same dealt slyly with our race, and mistreated our fathers, that they should throw out their babies, so that they wouldn`t stay alive. | Ex 1:9-22 Ps 83:4 Ps 83:5 Ps 105:25 Ps 129:1-3 Rev 12:4 Rev 12:5 |
| 20 | At that time Moses was born, and was exceedingly handsome. He was nourished three months in his father`s house. | Ex 2:2-10 |
| 21 | When he was thrown out, Pharaoh`s daughter took him up, and reared him as her own son. | Ex 2:2-10 Dt 32:26 |
| 22 | Moses was instructed in all the wisdom of the Egyptians. He was mighty in his words and works. | 1Ki 4:29 2Ch 9:22 Isa 19:11 Dn 1:4 Dn 1:17-20 |
| 23 | But when he was forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brothers, the children of Israel. | Ex 2:11 Ex 2:12 Heb 11:24-26 |
| 24 | Seeing one of them suffer wrong, he defended him, and avenged him who was oppressed, striking the Egyptian. | Ac 7:28 Jn 18:10 Jn 18:11 Jn 18:25-27 |
| 25 | He supposed that his brothers understood that God, by his hand, was giving them deliverance; but they didn`t understand. | Ac 14:27 Ac 15:4 Ac 15:7 Ac 21:19 1Sa 14:45 1Sa 19:5 2Ki 5:1 Ro 15:18 1Co 3:9 1Co 15:10 2Co 6:1 Col 1:29 |
| 26 | The day following, he appeared to them as they fought, and urged them to be at peace again, saying, `Sirs, you are brothers. Why do you wrong one to another?` | Ex 2:13-15 |
| 27 | But he who did his neighbor wrong pushed him away, saying, `Who made you a ruler and a judge over us? | Ac 7:54 Ac 5:33 Gn 19:19 1Sa 25:14 1Sa 25:15 Pr 9:7 Pr 9:8 |
| 28 | Do you want to kill me, as you killed the Egyptian yesterday?` |
| 29 | Moses fled at this saying, and became an alien in the land of Midian, where he became the father of two sons. | Ex 2:14-22 Ex 4:19 Ex 4:20 |
| 30 | "When forty years were fulfilled, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in the wilderness of Mount Sinai, in a flame of fire in a bush. | Ac 7:17 Ex 7:7 |
| 31 | When Moses saw it, he wondered at the sight. As he came close to see, a voice of the Lord came to him, | Ex 3:3 Ex 3:4 |
| 32 | `I am the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.` Moses trembled, and dared not look. | Ac 3:13 Gn 50:24 Ex 3:6 Ex 3:15 Ex 4:5 Mt 22:32 Heb 11:16 |
| 33 | The Lord said to him, `Take your sandals off of your feet, for the place where you stand is holy ground. | Ex 3:5 Jsh 5:15 Ec 5:1 2Pe 1:18 |
| 34 | I have surely seen the affliction of my people that is in Egypt, and have heard their groaning. I have come down to deliver them. Now come, I will send you into Egypt.` | Ex 2:23-25 Ex 3:7 Ex 3:9 Ex 4:31 Ex 6:5 Ex 6:6 Jg 2:18 Jg 10:15 Jg 10:16 Ne 9:9 Ps 106:44 Isa 63:8 Isa 63:9 |
| 35 | "This Moses, whom they refused, saying, `Who made you a ruler and a judge?` -- God has sent him as both a ruler and a deliverer with the hand of the angel who appeared to him in the bush. | Ac 7:9-15 Ac 7:27-15 Ac 7:28-15 Ac 7:51-15 1Sa 8:7 1Sa 8:8 1Sa 10:27 Lk 19:14 Jn 18:40 Jn 19:15 |
| 36 | This man led them forth, having worked wonders and signs in Egypt, in the Red Sea, and in the wilderness forty years. | Ex 12:41 Ex 33:1 |
| 37 | This is that Moses, who said to the children of Israel, `The Lord God will raise up a prophet to you from among your brothers, like me.` | Ac 7:38 2Ch 28:22 Dn 6:13 |
| 38 | This is he who was in the assembly in the wilderness with the angel that spoke to him in the Mount Sinai, and with our fathers, who received living oracles to give to us, | Ex 19:3-17 Ex 20:19 Ex 20:20 Nm 16:3-35 Nm 16:41-35 Nm 16:42-35 |
| 39 | to whom our fathers wouldn`t be obedient, but rejected him, and turned back in their hearts to Egypt, | Ac 7:51 Ac 7:52 Ne 9:16 Ps 106:16 Ps 106:32 Ps 106:33 Ezk 20:6-14 |
| 40 | saying to Aaron, `Make us gods that will go before us, for as for this Moses, who led us forth out of the land of Egypt, we don`t know what has become of him.` | Ex 32:1 |
| 41 | They made a calf in those days, and brought a sacrifice to the idol, and rejoiced in the works of their hands. | Ex 32:2-8 Ex 32:17-20 Dt 9:12-18 Ne 9:18 Ps 106:19-21 |
| 42 | But God turned, and gave them up to serve the host of the sky, as it is written in the book of the prophets, `Did you offer to me slain animals and sacrifices Forty years in the wilderness, O house of Israel? | Ps 81:11 Ps 81:12 Isa 66:4 Ezk 14:7-10 Ezk 20:25 Ezk 20:39 Hos 4:17 Ro 1:24-28 2Th 2:10-12 |
| 43 | You took up the tent of Moloch, The star of your god Rephan, The figures which you made to worship. I will carry you away beyond Babylon.` | Lv 18:21 Lv 20:2-5 2Ki 17:16-18 2Ki 21:6 |
| 44 | "Our fathers had the tent of the testimony in the wilderness, even as he who spoke to Moses appointed, that he should make it according to the pattern that he had seen. | Ex 38:21 Nm 1:50-53 Nm 9:15 Nm 10:11 Nm 17:7 Nm 17:8 Nm 18:2 Jsh 18:1 2Ch 24:6 |
| 45 | Which also our fathers, in their turn, brought in with Joshua when they entered into the possession of the nations, whom God drove out before the face of our fathers, to the days of David, | Jsh 3:11-14 Jsh 18:1 Jg 18:31 1Sa 4:4 1Ki 8:4 1Ch 16:39 1Ch 21:29 |
| 46 | who found favor in the sight of God, and asked to find a habitation for the God of Jacob. | Ac 13:22 1Sa 15:28 1Sa 16:1 1Sa 16:11-13 2Sa 6:21 2Sa 7:1 2Sa 7:8 2Sa 7:18 2Sa 7:19 1Ch 28:4 1Ch 28:5 Ps 78:68-72 Ps 89:19-37 Ps 132:11 |

| 48 | However, the Most High doesn`t dwell in temples made with hands, as the prophet says, | Dt 32:8 Ps 7:17 Ps 46:4 Ps 91:1 Ps 91:9 Ps 92:8 Dn 4:17 Dn 4:24 Dn 4:25 Dn 4:34 Hos 7:16 |
