8:26. Now an Angel of the Lord spoke to Philip, saying, “Arise, go towards the south, to the way that goes down from Jerusalem into Gaza: this is desert.”

'''8:27. Rising up, he went. Behold, a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch, of great authority under Candace, the queen of the Ethiopians, who had charge over all her treasures, had come to Jerusalem to adore.'''

8:28. He was returning, sitting in his chariot and reading Isaiah the prophet.

8:29. The Spirit said to Philip, “Go near and join yourself to this chariot.”

'''8:30. Philip running after it, heard him reading the prophet Isaiah. Philip said, “Do you understand what you read?”'''

8:31. The official said, “How can I, unless some man guides me?” He desired that Philip would come up and sit with him.

8:32. The place of the scripture which he was reading was this, “He was led as a sheep to the slaughter: and like a lamb without a voice before his shearer, he opened not his mouth.

'''8:33. “In humility his judgment was taken away. Who shall describe his generation, for his life shall be taken from the earth?'''

'''8:34. The eunuch asked Philip, “I beseech you, of whom does the prophet speak this? Of himself, or of some other man?”'''

8:35. Then Philip, opening his mouth and beginning at this scripture, preached about Jesus to him.

'''8:36. As they went on their way, they came to some water. The eunuch said, “See, here is water. What would hinder me from being baptized?”'''

8:37. Philip said, “If you believe with all your heart, you may.” He answered, “I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.”

'''8:38. He commanded the chariot to stand still. They went down into the water, both Philip and the eunuch. Philip baptized him.'''

'''8:39. When they had come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord took away Philip: and the eunuch saw him no more. The eunuch went on his way rejoicing.'''
