26 A messenger and of a Lord spoke to Philip, saying: Do thou arise, and go towards south, in the way that leading down from Jerusalem to Gaza; this is desert.
27 And having arisen he went; and lo, a man of Ethiopia a eunuch, a grandee of Candace of the queen of Ethiopians, who was over all the treasure of her; who had come worshipping to Jerusalem,
28 was and returning and sitting in the chariot of himself, and was reading the prophet Isaiah.
29 Said and the spirit to the Philip: Go thou near, and be joined to the chariot this.
30 Running to and the Philip heard him reading the prophet Isaiah, and said: Truly understandest thou, what thou readest?
31 He but said: How for should I be able, if not some one should guide me? He called and the Philip, having gone up to sit with him.
32 The and portion of the writing, which he was reading, was this: As a sheep to slaughter was led, and as a lamb before the one shearing him is dumb, so not he opens the mouth of himself.
33 In the low estate of him the judgment of himself was taken away; the and generation of him who shall declare? because is taken away from the earth the life of him.
34 Answering but the eunuch to the Philip, said: I beseech thee, concerning whom the prophet says this? concerning himself, or concerning another one?
35 Having opened and the Philip the mouth of himself, and having begun from the writing this, announced glad tidings to him the Jesus.
36 As and they were going in the way, they came to a certain water, and said the eunuch: Lo, water; what hinders me to be dipped?
37 And he ordered to stand the chariot; and they went down both into the water the, both Philip and the eunuch; and he dipped him.
38 When and they came up out of the water, spirit of Lord seized the Philip; and now saw him no longer the eunuch; he went for the way of himself rejoicing.
39 Philip but found into Azotus; and passing through he announced glad tidings the cities all, till of the to come him into Caesarea.
