Matthew Poole and continuators on Acts 7:26

26 And the next day he shewed himself unto them as they strove, and would have set them at one again , saying, Sirs, ye are brethren; why do ye wrong one to another?

As one appointed by God to deliver them, which he had evidenced before.

With great earnestness, and as far as words could do, he compelled them.

These words are not mentioned, Exod. 2.13. but something otherwise than here; but the sense is here and there the same.

Brethren, not so much being all descended from Abraham and the Patriarchs; but in that they all worshipped one and the same God, which is the greatest obligation to concord and agreement that can be; and if any offence be given, or trespass committed, it obliges us as much to pass it by and pardon it: Forgive the trespass of the servants of the God of thy father, Gen. 50.17.
