Acts:8:26-40
acv@Acts:8:26 @ And an agent of Lord spoke to Philip, saying, Arise, and go toward the south to the road that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza. This is a desolate region.
acv@Acts:8:27 @ And after rising, he went. And behold a man, an Ethiopian, a eunuch, a high official of Candace the queen of the Ethiopians, who was over all her treasure, who had come to Jerusalem to worship.
acv@Acts:8:28 @ And he was returning, and sitting in his chariot, and reading the prophet Isaiah.
acv@Acts:8:29 @ And the Spirit said to Philip, Go near, and be joined to this chariot.
acv@Acts:8:30 @ And after running near, Philip heard him reading the prophet Isaiah. And he said, Do thou also really understand the things that thou read?
acv@Acts:8:31 @ And he said, For how can I unless some man may guide me? And he encouraged Philip, after coming up, to sit with him.
acv@Acts:8:32 @ Now the passage of the Scripture that he was reading was this: He was led as a sheep to slaughter, and as a lamb, mute before shearing him, thus he opened not his mouth.
acv@Acts:8:33 @ In his lowly condition his justice was taken away. And who will describe his generation, because his life was taken from the earth?
acv@Acts:8:34 @ And having answered, the eunuch said to Philip, I ask thee, about whom does the prophet say this, about himself, or about some other man?
acv@Acts:8:35 @ And Philip having opened his mouth, and having begun from this Scripture, he preached the good-news to him--the man Jesus.
acv@Acts:8:36 @ And as they went on the way, they came to some water, and the eunuch says, Look, water! What prevents me to be immersed?

acv@Acts:8:38 @ And he commanded the chariot to stand still. And they both went down into the water, both Philip and the eunuch, and he immersed him.
acv@Acts:8:39 @ And when they came up out of the water, Spirit of Lord caught away Philip, and the eunuch saw him no more, for he went on his way rejoicing.
acv@Acts:8:40 @ But Philip was found at Azotus. And passing through all the cities he preached the good-news until he came to Caesarea.
