A.T. Robertson Commentary Acts 8:33

"In his humiliation his judgment was taken away: His generation who shall declare? For his life is taken from the earth." — Acts 8:33 (ASV)

Was taken away (ηρθη). First aorist passive indicative of αιρω, 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.
