30 Philip ran up and heard him reading the prophet Isaiah and said, “Do you understand what you are reading?”

31 “How can I,” he said, “unless someone guides me?” So he invited Philip to come up and sit with him. 32 Now the passage of Scripture that he was reading was this:

    For His life is taken away from the earth.”[a]

    Who can speak of his descendants?
    For his life was taken from the earth.”[a](A)
