Acts 8:32

Contemporary English Version

³²^(A) The man was reading the passage that said,

“He was led like a sheep
    on its way to be killed.
He was silent as a lamb
whose wool
    is being cut off,
and he did not say
    a word.

Acts 8:32

New International Version

³²This 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.

³³He was treated like a nobody
and did not receive
a fair trial.
How can he have children,
if his life
is snatched away?”

³³In his humiliation he was deprived of justice.
Who can speak of his descendants?
For his life was taken from the earth.”^[a]^(A)
