Whiston(i)
26 And the angel of the Lord spake unto Philip, saying, Arise and go toward the south, unto the way that goeth down from Jerusalem unto Gaza, which is desert.
27 And he arose and went: and behold, a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch of great authority under Candace, a certain queen of the Ethiopians, who was her treasurer, and had come to Jerusalem to worship,
28 Was returning and sitting in a chariot reading Esaias the prophet.
29 Then the spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join thy self to this chariot.
30 And Philip ran thither to him, and heard him read the prophet Esaias, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest?
31 And he said, How can I, except some one should guide me? and he desired Philip that he would come up, and sit with him.
32 The place of the scripture which he read, was this, He was led as a sheep to the slaughter, and like a lamb dumb before his shearer, so opened he not his mouth:
33 In [his] humiliation his judgment was taken away: and who shall declare his generation? for his life is taken from the earth.
34 And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray thee, of whom speaketh the prophet this? of himself, or of some other.
35 Then Philip opened his mouth and began at the same scripture and preached unto him Jesus.
36 And as they went on the way, they came unto a certain water; and the Eunuch said, See water, what doth forbid me to be baptized?
37 And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayst. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.
38 And he commanded the chariot to stand: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him.
39 And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on his way rejoicing.
40 But Philip was found at Azotus: and passing through, he preached in all the cities till he came to Cesarea.
