King James Version (KJV)
“In our prayers we talk to God, in our Bible study God talks to us, and we had better let God do most of the talking.”
— D.L. Moody
Scripture focus
17. The God of this people of Israel chose our fathers, and exalted the people when they dwelt as strangers in the land of Egypt, and with an high arm brought he them out of it. 18. And about the time of forty years suffered he their manners in the wilderness.
Acts 13:17-18 — KJV
God of this people. Paul began his speech like Stephen, emphasizing Israel’s history, a Jewish religious approach. This showed apostles recognized Hebrews as God’s chosen people.
Exalted. Greek hupsod, also found in LXX of Isa. 1:2 (KJV “brought up”).
This may echo the haphtarah, the Prophets’ Scripture reading, possibly just read (Acts 13:15; cf. v. 18).
An high arm. That is, with a demonstration of power.
