28 he was also returning, and is sitting on his chariot, and he was reading the prophet Isaiah.
29 And the Spirit said to Philip, 'Go near, and be joined to this chariot;'
30 and Philip having run near, heard him reading the prophet Isaiah, and said, 'Do you then know what you do read?'
31 and he said, 'Why, how am I able, if some one may not guide me?' he called Philip also, having come up, to sit with him.

33 in his humiliation his judgment was taken away, and his generation -- who shall declare? because taken from the earth is his life.'

35 and Philip having opened his mouth, and having begun from this Writing, proclaimed good news to him -- Jesus.
36 And as they were going on the way, they came upon a certain water, and the eunuch said, 'Lo, water; what does hinder me to be baptized?'
37 And Philip said, 'If you do believe out of all the heart, it is lawful;' and he answering said, 'I believe Jesus Christ to be the Son of God;'
38 and he commanded the chariot to stand still, and they both went down to the water, both Philip and the eunuch, and he baptized him;
39 and when they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, and the eunuch saw him no more, for he was going on his way rejoicing;
