Acts 8:33 Context
31And hee said, How can I, except some man should guide me? And he desired Philip, that hee would come vp, and sit with him. 32The place of the Scripture, which hee read, was this, Hee was led as a sheepe to the slaughter, & like a Lambe dumbe before the shearer, so opened he not his mouth: 33In his humiliation, his Iudgement was taken away: and who shall declare his generation? For his life is taken from the earth. 34And the Eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray thee, of whom speaketh the Prophet this? of himselfe, or of some other man? 35Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same Scripture, and preached vnto him Iesus.

Wesley's Notes for Acts 8:33
8:33 In his humiliation his judgment was taken away - That is, when he was a man, he had no justice shown him. To take away a person's judgment, is a proverbial phrase for oppressing him. And who shall declare, or count his generation - That is, who can number his seed, #Isa 53:10|; which he hath purchased by laying down his life?
