Acts 8:33 - Robertson's Word Pictures (NT)

Acts 8:33

31 And he said, “How can I, unless someone guides me?” And he asked Philip to come up and sit with him.

32 The place in the Scripture which he read was this:
^a“He was led as a sheep to the slaughter;
And as a lamb before its shearer is silent,
^bSo He opened not His mouth.

33 In His humiliation His ^ajustice was taken away,
And who will declare His generation?
For His life is ^btaken from the earth.”

34 So the eunuch answered Philip and said, “I ask you, of whom does the prophet say this, of himself or of some other man?”

35 Then Philip opened his mouth, ^aand beginning at this Scripture, preached Jesus to him.

Acts 8:33

Was taken away (hrqh). First aorist passive indicative of airw, to take away. It is not clear what the meaning is here either in the Hebrew or the LXX. Knowling suggests that the idea is that justice was withheld, done away with, in his death, as it certainly was in the death of Christ.
