Acts:8:26-40

*
But an angel of the Lord spoke to Philip ,
saying ,
Rise up and go along south on the highway going down to Jerusalem to Gaza .
This is a deserted place .
*
And rising up he went .
And ,
behold ,
an Ethiopian man ,
a eunuch ,
one in power with Candace the queen of Ethiopians ,
who was over all her treasure ,
who had come to Jerusalem to worship !
*
And he was returning .
And sitting on his chariot he read the prophet Isaiah .
*
And the Spirit said to Philip ,
Go near and join yourself to this chariot .
*
And running near Philip heard him reading the prophet Isaiah ,
and said ,
Indeed ,
do you know what you are reading ?
*
But he said ,
How should I be able except someone shall guide me ?
And he called Philip near ,
to come up to sit with him .
*
And the content of the Scripture which he was reading was this : "
He was led as a sheep to slaughter ,
and as a lamb voiceless before the one shearing it ,
so He does not open His mouth .
*
In His humiliation His judgment was taken away ;
and who will recount His generation ?
For His life is taken away from the earth ."
Isaiah .

53:7 ,
8
*
And answering the eunuch said to Philip ,
I ask you ,
about whom does the prophet say this ?
About himself ,
or about some other one ?
*
And opening his mouth ,
and beginning from this Scripture ,
Philip announced the gospel to him ,
Jesus .
*
And as they were going along the highway they came on some water .
And the eunuch said ,
Behold ,
water !
What prevents me from being baptized ?
*
And Philip said ,
If you believe from all the heart ,
it is lawful .
And answering he said ,
I believe Jesus Christ to be the Son of God .
*
And he commanded the chariot to stand still .
And both went down into the water ,
both Philip and the eunuch ;
and he baptized him .
*
But when they came up out of the water ,
the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip .
And the eunuch did not see him any more ;
for he went his way rejoicing .
*
And Philip was found at Azotus .
And passing through he preached the gospel to all the cities until he came to Caesarea .
