23When Moses was forty years old, he decided to visit his brothers, the children of Israel.
24And when he saw one of them being mistreated, Moses went to his defense and avenged him by striking down the Egyptian who was oppressing him.
25He assumed his brothers would understand that God was using him to deliver them, but they did not.
26The next day he came upon two Israelites who were fighting, and he tried to reconcile them, saying, ‘Men, you are brothers. Why are you mistreating each other?’
— Acts 7:23-26
