And he asked Philip to come up and sit with him. 32 The place in the Scripture which he read was this: He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and as a lamb silent before its shearer, so He did not open His mouth. 33 In His humiliation His justice was taken away, and who will declare His generation?
