30 When Philip ran up, he heard him reading the prophet Isaiah. "Do you really understand what you are reading?"
31 he asked. "Why, how can I possibly understand it," said the eunuch, "unless some one puts me on the right track?" And he begged Philip to get up and sit beside him.
32 Now the passage of scripture which he was reading was as follows: — he was led like a sheep to be slaughtered, and as a lamb is dumb before the shearer, so he opens not his lips.
33 By humbling himself he had his doom removed. Who can tell his family? For his life is cut off from the earth.
34 So the eunuch said to Philip, "Pray, who is the prophet speaking about? Is it himself or someone else?"
35 Then Philip opened his lips, and starting from this scripture preached the gospel of Jesus to him.
