But the man who was abusing his neighbor pushed Moses aside and said, ‘Who made you ruler and judge over us?
Israel swelled from seventy souls to six hundred thousand warriors not in haste but in God's time, and mark this: their fastest growth came when Egypt made their lives bitter.

Commenting on Acts 7:17-29

AI summary
A man consumed by rage rejects all entreaties to peace, and this is your mark of guilt: the wrongdoer, not the wronged, resists reconciliation. When you see a man grow angrier at calls for peace, you see a man who knows he has done wrong.
