Now the passage of the Scripture which he was reading was this, He was led as. sheep to the slaughter; And as. lamb before his shearer is dumb, So he openeth not his mouth:

'WAS THIS'-Notice the detail. We know exactly where in Isaiah the eunuch had been reading from. Before we proceed, again let us be impressed with the character of this man. He is. very important and powerful man, who has been treated as an outsider or outcast when he came to worship. 'He has been there now; and, on his way home he is scarcely out of sight of the holy city when he takes in hand, as he rides along, the book of Isaiah. He is. thoughtful reader, carefully inquiring, as he reads, the meaning of every passage.' (McGarvey p. 155)

'HE WAS LED AS. SHEEP TO THE SLAUGHTER..'- Isaiah 2:7.
