32 Now the place in the book where he was reading was this: He was taken, like a sheep, to be put to death; and as a lamb is quiet when its wool is being cut, so he made no sound:

33 Being of low degree, his cause was not given a hearing: who has knowledge of his family? for his life is cut off from the earth.

34 And the Ethiopian said to Philip, About whom are these words said by the prophet? about himself, or some other?

35 So Philip, starting from this writing, gave him the good news about Jesus.

32 Locul din Scriptură, pe care -l citea, era acesta: ,,El a fost dus ca o oaie la tăiere; şi, ca un miel fără glas înaintea celui ce -l tunde, aşa nu Şi -a deschis gura;

33 în smerenia Lui, judecata I -a fost luată. Şi cine va zugrăvi pe cei din timpul Lui? Căci viaţa I -a fost luată de pe pămînt.

34 Famenul a zis lui Filip: ,,Rogu-te, despre cine vorbeşte proorocul astfel? Despre sine sau despre vreun altul?

35 Atunci Filip a luat cuvîntul, a început dela Scriptura aceasta, şi i -a propovăduit pe Isus.
