Acts 7:26

_ _ next day he showed himself unto them as they strove — Here, not an Israelite and an Egyptian, but two parties in Israel itself, are in collision with each other; Moses, grieved at the spectacle, interposes as a mediator; but his interference, as unauthorized, is resented by the party in the wrong, whom Stephen identifies with the mass of the nation (Acts 7:35), just as Messiah’s own interposition had been spurned.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Acts 7:17-29.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes
