* A messenger and of a Lord spoke to Philip , saying : Do thou arise , and go towards south , in the way that leading down from Jerusalem to Gaza ; this is desert . * And having arisen he went ; and lo , a man of Ethiopia a eunuch , a grandee of Candace of the queen of Ethiopians , who was over all the treasure of her ; who had come worshipping to Jerusalem , * was and returning and sitting in the chariot of himself , and was reading the prophet Isaiah . * Said and the spirit to the Philip : Go thou near , and be joined to the chariot this . * Running to and the Philip heard him reading the prophet Isaiah , and said : Truly understandest thou , what thou readest ? * He but said : How for should I be able , if not some one should guide me ? He called and the Philip , having gone up to sit with him . * The and portion of the writing , which he was reading , was this : As a sheep to slaughter was led , and as a lamb before the one shearing him is dumb , so not he opens the mouth of himself . * In the low estate of him the judgment of himself was taken away ; the and generation of him who shall declare ? because is taken away from the earth the life of him . * Answering but the eunuch to the Philip , said : I beseech thee , concerning whom the prophet says this ? concerning himself , or concerning another one ? * Having opened and the Philip the mouth of himself , and having begun from the writing this , announced glad tidings to him the Jesus . * As and they were going in the way , they came to a certain water , and said the eunuch : Lo , water ; what hinders me to be dipped ? * And he ordered to stand the chariot ; and they went down both into the water the , both Philip and the eunuch ; and he dipped him . * When and they came up out of the water , spirit of Lord seized the Philip ; and now saw him no longer the eunuch ; he went for the way of himself rejoicing . * Philip but found into Azotus ; and passing through he announced glad tidings the cities all , till of the to come him into Caesarea .
