32 Era esta a passagem das Escrituras que ele estava lendo:

"Ele foi levado como ovelha para o matadouro;

como cordeiro mudo diante dos tosquiadores,

não abriu a boca.

33 Foi humilhado e a justiça lhe foi negada.

Quem pode falar de seus descendentes?

Pois sua vida foi tirada da terra".

34 O eunuco perguntou a Filipe: "Diga-me, o profeta estava falando de si mesmo ou de outro?". 35 Então Filipe, começando com essa mesma passagem das Escrituras, anunciou-lhe as boas-novas a respeito de Jesus.

32 Now the passage of the Scripture that he was reading was this: He was led as a sheep to slaughter, and as a lamb, mute before shearing him, thus he opened not his mouth.

33 In his lowly condition his justice was taken away. And who will describe his generation, because his life was taken from the earth?

34 And having answered, the eunuch said to Philip, I ask thee, about whom does the prophet say this, about himself, or about some other man?

35 And Philip having opened his mouth, and having begun from this Scripture, he preached the good-news to him--the man Jesus.
