26 And the angel of the Lord spake unto Philip, saying,
Arise,
and go toward the south unto the way that goeth down from
Jerusalem unto Gaza, which is desert.
27 And he arose and went: and, behold, a man
of Ethiopia,
an eunuch of great authority under Candace queen of the
Ethiopians, who had charge of all of her treasure, and had
come
to Jerusalem for to worship,
28 Was returning, and sitting in his chariot read Esaias
the
prophet.
29 Then the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join
thyself
to this chariot.
30 And Philip ran thither to him, and heard him read
the
prophet Esaias, and said, Understandest thou what thou
readest?
31 And he said, How can I, except some man should
guide
me? And he desired Philip that he would come up and sit
with him.
32 The place of the scripture which he read was this,
He was
led as a sheep to the slaughter; and like a lamb is dumb before
his
shearer, so opened he not his mouth:
33 In his humiliation his judgment was taken away: and
who shall
declare his generation? for his life is taken from the
earth.
34 And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray thee,
of whom
speaketh the prophet this? of himself, or of some other
man?
35 Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same
scripture, and preached unto him Jesus.
36 And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain
water:
and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me
to
be baptized?
37 And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine
heart, thou
mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus
Christ
is the Son of God.
38 And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they
went
down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he
baptized him.
39 And when they were come up out of the water, the
Spirit
of the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no
more;
and he went on his way rejoicing.
40 But Philip was found at Azotus: and passing
through he
preached in all the cities, till he came to Caesarea. (Acts
8:26-40).
