Acts:8:26-40

asv@Acts:8:26 @But an angel of the Lord spake unto Philip, saying, Arise, and go toward the south unto the way that goeth down from Jerusalem unto Gaza: the same is desert.

asv@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 was over all her treasure, who had come to Jerusalem to worship;

asv@Acts:8:28 @and he was returning and sitting in his chariot, and was reading the prophet Isaiah.

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

asv@Acts:8:30 @And Philip ran to him, and heard him reading Isaiah the prophet, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest?

asv@Acts:8:31 @And he said, How can I, except some one shall guide me? And he besought Philip to come up and sit with him.

asv@Acts:8:32 @Now the passage of the Scripture which he was reading was this, He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; And as a lamb before his shearer is dumb, So he openeth not his mouth:

asv@Acts:8:33 @In his humiliation his judgment was taken away: His generation who shall declare? For his life is taken from the earth.

asv@Acts:8:34 @And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray thee, of whom speaketh the prophet this? of himself, or of some other?

asv@Acts:8:35 @And Philip opened his mouth, and beginning from this Scripture, preached unto him Jesus.

asv@Acts:8:36 @And as they went on the way, they came unto a certain water; and the eunuch saith, Behold, [here is] water; what doth hinder me to be baptized?

asv@Acts:8:37 @[And Philip said, If thou believest with all thy heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.]

asv@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 baptized him.

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

asv@Acts:8:40 @But Philip was found at Azotus: and passing through he preached the gospel to all the cities, till he came to Caesarea.
