| 32 | The place of the scripture which he read was this, He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and like a lamb dumb before his shearer, so opened he not his mouth: | Or le passage de l'Ecriture qu'il lisait était celui-ci : Comme une brebis, il a été mené à la tuerie; et comme un agneau muet devant celui qui le tond, ainsi il n'ouvre pas la bouche. | Now the passage of the Scripture which he was reading was this, He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; And as a lamb before his shearer is dumb, So he openeth not his mouth: |
