And he besought Philip to come up and sit with him. ³²Now the place of the scripture which he was reading was this, He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; And as a lamb before his shearer is dumb, So he openeth not his mouth: ³³In his humiliation his judgment was taken away: His generation who shall declare?
