Acts 8:31 in Context — Acts 8

29 E o Espírito disse a Filipe: Aproxima-te, e ajunta-te a esta carruagem.

30 E Filipe, correndo, ouviu que ele estava lendo ao profeta Isaías, e disse: Tu entendes o que estás lendo?

31 E ele disse: Como eu poderia, se alguém não me ensinar? E pediu a Filipe que subisse e se sentasse com ele.

32 E o lugar da Escritura que ele estava lendo era este: Como ovelha ele foi levado ao matadouro, e como um cordeiro mudo fica diante do que o tosquia, assim [também] ele não abriu sua boca.

33 Em sua humilhação foi tirado seu julgamento; e quem anunciará sua geração? Porque da terra sua vida é tirada.
