Moses

Do not think that I will accuse you before the Father. Your accuser is Moses, in whom you have put your hope.

If you had believed Moses, you would believe Me, because he wrote about Me.

Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I tell you, it was not Moses who gave you the bread from heaven, but it is My Father who gives you the true bread from heaven.

Has not Moses given you the law? Yet not one of you keeps it. Why are you trying to kill Me?”

But because Moses gave you circumcision, you circumcise a boy on the Sabbath (not that it is from Moses, but from the patriarchs.)

If a boy can be circumcised on the Sabbath so that the law of Moses will not be broken, why are you angry with Me for making the whole man well on the Sabbath?

In the Law Moses commanded us to stone such a woman. So what do You say?”

We know that God spoke to Moses, but we do not know where this man is from.”

For Moses said, ‘The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your brothers. You must listen to Him in everything He tells you.

Then they prompted some men to say, “We heard Stephen speak words of blasphemy against Moses and against God.”

For we have heard him say that Jesus of Nazareth will destroy this place and change the customs that Moses handed down to us.”

At that time Moses was born, and he was beautiful in the sight of God. For three months he was nurtured in his father’s house.

So Moses was educated in all the wisdom of the Egyptians and was powerful in speech and action.

At this remark, Moses fled to the land of Midian, where he lived as a foreigner and had two sons.

When Moses saw it, he marveled at the sight. As he approached to look more closely, the voice of the Lord came to him:

‘I am the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.’ Moses trembled with fear and did not dare to look.

This Moses, whom they had rejected with the words, ‘Who made you ruler and judge?’ is the one whom God sent to be their ruler and redeemer through the angel who appeared to him in the bush.

This is the same Moses who told the Israelites, ‘God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your brothers.’

They said to Aaron, ‘Make us gods who will go before us! As for this Moses who led us out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what has happened to him.’

Our fathers had the tabernacle of the Testimony with them in the wilderness. It was constructed exactly as God had directed Moses, according to the pattern he had seen.

Through Him everyone who believes is justified from everything you could not be justified from by the law of Moses.

Then some men came down from Judea and were teaching the brothers, “Unless you are circumcised according to the custom of Moses, you cannot be saved.”

But some believers from the party of the Pharisees stood up and declared, “The Gentiles must be circumcised and required to obey the law of Moses.”

For Moses has been proclaimed in every city from ancient times and is read in the synagogues on every Sabbath.”

But they are under the impression that you teach all the Jews who live among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, telling them not to circumcise their children or observe our customs.
