31 And he said, “How can I, unless someone guides me?” And he asked Philip to come up and sit with him. 32 The place in the Scripture which he read was this:

(A)“He was led as a sheep to the slaughter;
And as a lamb before its shearer is silent,
(B)So He opened not His mouth.
33 In His humiliation His (C)justice was taken away,
And who will declare His generation?
For His life is (D)taken from the earth.”

32 This is the passage of Scripture the eunuch was reading:

“He was led like a sheep to the slaughter,
    and as a lamb before its shearer is silent,
    so he did not open his mouth.
33 In his humiliation he was deprived of justice.
    Who can speak of his descendants?
    For his life was taken from the earth.”[a](A)
