Acts 8:31-33
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
31 He replied, “How can I, unless someone instructs me?” So he invited Philip to get in and sit with him.(A) 32 This was the scripture passage he was reading:(B)
“Like a sheep he was led to the slaughter,
and as a lamb before its shearer is silent,
so he opened not his mouth.
33 In (his) humiliation justice was denied him.
Who will tell of his posterity?
For his life is taken from the earth.”
