²⁷ And arising he went. And there met him a certain eunuch* who had come from Cush, an officer of Kandak, queen of the Cushoyee; and he was officer over all her treasure. And he had been to worship at Urishlem; [* Mahaimna, "a faithful or confidential one."] ²⁸ and while returning that he might go, he sat in the chariot and read in Eshaia the prophet. ²⁹ And the Spirit of Holiness said to Philipos, Approach, and join the chariot. ³⁰ And being near, he heard that he read in Eshaia the prophet; and he said to him, Understandest thou what thou readest? ³¹ And he said, How can I understand, unless one teach me? And he prayed of him, of Philipos, to ascend and sit with him. ³² But the section (phosuka) of the scripture in which he was reading is this: As a lamb to the slaughter was he led; and as a sheep before the shearer is silent, so opened not he his mouth in his humiliation. ³³ From oppression and from judgment was he led; and his age who shall recount? For his life is taken from the earth. ³⁴ That eunuch said Unto Philipos, I pray thee, of whom speaketh this the prophet? of himself, or of another man? ³⁵ Then Philipos opened his mouth and began, from that very scripture, preaching to him concerning our Lord Jeshu. ³⁶ And as they went in the way they came to a certain place which had water in it, and that eunuch said, Behold the water; what is the hinderance that I should be baptized? ³⁷ [Verse 37 is wanting in the Peschito.] ³⁸ And he commanded that the chariot should stand; and they descended both of them to the water, and Philipos baptized that eunuch. ³⁹ And when they had ascended from the water, the Spirit of the Lord rapt away Philipos, and the eunuch again saw him not; but he went on his way rejoicing.
