dourh@Acts:8:27 @ And rising up, he went. And behold a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch, of great authority under Candace the queen of the Ethiopians, who had charge over all her treasures, had come to Jerusalem to adore.

dourh@Acts:8:28 @ And he was returning, sitting in this chariot, and reading Isaias the prophet.

dourh@Acts:8:29 @ And the Spirit said to Philip: Go near, and join thyself to this chariot.

dourh@Acts:8:30 @ And Philip running thither, heard him reading the prophet Isaias. And he said: Thinkest thou that thou understandest what thou readest?

dourh@Acts:8:31 @ Who said: And how can I, unless some man shew me? And he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him.

dourh@Acts:8:32 @ And the place of the scripture which he was reading was this: He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and like a lamb without voice before his shearer, so openeth he not his mouth.
