Israel Rebels Against God

37 “This is that Moses who said to the children of Israel, ^a‘The Lord your God will raise up for you a Prophet like me from your brethren. ^bHim you shall hear.’

38 ^a“This is he who was in the¹ congregation in the wilderness with ^bthe Angel who spoke to him on Mount Sinai, and with our fathers, ^cthe one who received the living ^doracles to give to us,

39 whom our fathers ^awould not obey, but rejected. And in their hearts they turned back to Egypt,

40 ^asaying to Aaron, ‘Make us gods to go before us; as for this Moses who brought us out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what has become of him.’

41 ^aAnd they made a calf in those days, offered sacrifices to the idol, and ^brejoiced in the works of their own hands.

<< Acts 7:36

Acts 7:38 >>

This is that Moses which said . . . A prophet . . . him shall ye hear—This is quoted to remind his Moses-worshipping audience of the grand testimony of their faithful lawgiver, that he himself was not the last and proper object of the Church's faith, but only a humble precursor and small model of Him to whom their absolute submission was due.

Acts 7:35-41

This Moses whom they refused, saying, Who made thee a ruler and a judge, etc.—Here, again, "the stone which the builders refused is made the head of the corner" (Psalms 118:22).
