Charles Ellicott Commentary Acts 7:24

"And seeing one [of them] suffer wrong, he defended him, and avenged him that was oppressed, smiting the Egyptian:" — Acts 7:24 (ASV)

And avenged him.—The Greek phrase is noticeable as identical with that used by St. Luke (Luke 18:7) in reporting the lesson drawn by our Lord from the parable of the Unjust Judge.
