rkjnt@Acts:8:26 @ And the angel of the Lord spoke to Philip, saying, Arise, and go toward the south to the road that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza. This is a desert road.

rkjnt@Acts:8:27 @ And he arose and went: and, behold, a man of Ethiopia, a eunuch of great authority under Candace, queen of the Ethiopians, who had charge of all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem to worship,

rkjnt@Acts:8:28 @ Was returning, and sitting in his chariot reading Isaiah the prophet.

rkjnt@Acts:8:29 @ Then the Spirit said to Philip, Go near, and join this chariot.

rkjnt@Acts:8:30 @ And Philip ran to him, and heard him reading the prophet Isaiah, and said, Do you understand what you are reading?

rkjnt@Acts:8:31 @ And he said, How can I, unless some man should guide me? And he invited Philip to come up and sit with him.

rkjnt@Acts:8:32 @ Now the passage of scripture which he read was this, He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and like a lamb silent before his shearer, so he did not open his mouth:

rkjnt@Acts:8:33 @ In his humiliation justice was taken from him: and who shall describe his generation? for his life was taken from the earth.

rkjnt@Acts:8:36 @ And as they went on their way, they came to some water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what prevents me from being baptized?

rkjnt@Acts:8:37 @ [And Philip said, If you believe with all your heart, you may. And he answered, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.]

rkjnt@Acts:8:38 @ And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they both went down into the water, Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him.

rkjnt@Acts:8:39 @ And when they had come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught Philip away, and the eunuch saw him no more: but he went on his way rejoicing.

rkjnt@Acts:8:40 @ But Philip found himself at Azotus: and passing through he preached in all the cities, until he came to Caesarea.
