In the text
Acts 8:32The 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:1 Corinthians 12:2Ye know that ye were Gentiles, carried away unto these dumb idols, even as ye were led.1 Corinthians 14:10There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and none of them is without signification.2 Peter 2:16But was rebuked for his iniquity: the dumb ass speaking with man’s voice forbad the madness of the prophet.
