Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Acts 7:23-27

_ _ In Acts 7:23, Acts 7:30, Acts 7:36, the life of Moses is represented as embracing three periods, of forty years each; the Jewish writers say the same; and though this is not expressly stated in the Old Testament, his age at death, one hundred twenty years (Deuteronomy 34:7), agrees with it.

_ _ it came into his heart to visit his brethren — his heart yearning with love to them as God’s chosen people, and heaving with the consciousness of a divine vocation to set them free.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Acts 7:17-29.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Acts 7:23

It came into his heart — Probably by an impulse from God.
