    • 7:23

      reached the age of 40: Stephen’s speech before the Sanhedrin includes a number of facts concerning Jewish history that are not found in the Hebrew Scriptures. For example, Stephen reveals that Moses was 40 years of age when he fled Egypt. For other details in Stephen’s speech that are not included in the Hebrew Scriptures, see study notes on Ac 7:22, 30, 53.

      it came into his heart: Or “the thought came to him; he decided.” This Greek expression reflects a Hebrew idiom.​—Compare Isa 65:17; Jer 3:16.

      the sons of Israel: Or “people of Israel; the Israelites.”​—See Glossary, “Israel.”
