But the man who was wronging his neighbor thrust him aside, saying, ‘Who made you a ruler and a 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.
