Acts

Acts 8:32–33

³²The eunuch was reading this passage of Scripture:

“He was led like a sheep to the slaughter,

and as a lamb before the shearer is silent,

so He did not open His mouth.

³³In His humiliation He was deprived of justice.

Who can recount His descendants?

For His life was removed from the earth.”^b
