Acts 8:31 in Context — Acts 8
29 L’Esprit dit à Philippe: Avance, et approche-toi de ce char.
30 Philippe accourut, et entendit l’Éthiopien qui lisait le prophète Ésaïe. Il lui dit: Comprends-tu ce que tu lis?
31 Il répondit: Comment le pourrais-je, si quelqu’un ne me guide? Et il invita Philippe à monter et à s’asseoir avec lui.
32 Le passage de l’Écriture qu’il lisait était celui-ci: Il a été mené comme une brebis à la boucherie; Et, comme un agneau muet devant celui qui le tond, Il n’a point ouvert la bouche.
33 Dans son humiliation, son jugement a été levé. Et sa postérité, qui la dépeindra? Car sa vie a été retranchée de la terre.
