MLV(i)
26 But a messenger of the Lord spoke to Philip, saying, Stand up and travel toward the midday sun to the road which is going down from Jerusalem to Gaza. This is a desolate road.
27 And he stood up and traveled away.
And behold, a man of Ethiopia, a eunuch, (a sovereign under Candace, the queen of Ethiopia, who was in charge over all her treasure), who had come to Jerusalem to worship, 28 and who was returning and sitting in his chariot and was reading the prophet Isaiah. 29 Now the Spirit said to Philip, Go near and join yourself to this chariot.
30 Now Philip having ran up to him, heard him reading Isaiah the prophet and said, Do you know then what you are reading?
31 But he said, For how am I able, if someone does not guide me? And he pleaded with Philip to come up and sit together with him. 32 Now the passage of the Scripture which he was reading was this: ‘He was led like a sheep to the slaughter, and like a lamb in front of the one who is shearing him is voiceless, thus he does not open his mouth. 33 His judgment was taken away in his humbleness. But who will be describing his generation? Because his life is taken from the earth.’ 34 But Philip answered and said to the eunuch, I am beseeching you, concerning whom is the prophet speaking about in this? Is he speaking concerning himself or concerning some other person?
35 Now Philip opened his mouth and beginning from this Scripture, proclaimed the good-news of Jesus to him. 36 Now as they were traveling down the road, they came to a some water, and the eunuch says, Behold, here is water; what is preventing me from being immersed? \super{T} 37 Now Philip said, If you believe from all your heart, it is permitted.
But he answered and said I believe Jesus Christ to be the Son of God. 38 Now he commanded the chariot to stand still and they both went down into the water, both Philip and the eunuch, and he immersed him. 39 Now when they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord seized Philip away, and the eunuch saw him no more, for he was traveling on his way rejoicing.
