²⁷ And he arose and went: and lo! an Ethiopian man, an eunuch, a person in power under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who was over all her treasury; he had gone to worship unto Jerusalem, ²⁸ and was returning, and sitting in his chariot, was reading the prophet Isaiah. ²⁹ Then said the Spirit to Philip, Go up, and approach close to that chariot. ³⁰ Then Philip running up to him, heard him reading the prophet Isaiah; and he said, Well! but dost thou understand what thou art reading? ³¹ He replied, How indeed can I, except some person guide me in the way? And he besought Philip to come up and sit with him. ³² The portion of scripture which he had been reading was this: "He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and as a lamb before him who sheareth it is dumb, so he opened not his mouth: ³³ in his humiliation his judgment was taken away: but his generation who can describe? for his life was taken away from the earth." ³⁴ Then the eunuch addressing himself to Philip, said, I pray thee, of whom doth the prophet thus speak? of himself, or of some other person? ³⁵ Then Philip opening his mouth, and beginning from that scripture, preached to him Jesus. ³⁶ But as they went on the road, they came to some water: and the eunuch said, Here is water, what forbids my being baptised? ³⁷ And Philip said, If thou believest with the whole heart, it is allowable. Then he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. ³⁸ And he bid the carriage stop: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptised him. ³⁹ But when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught up Philip, and the eunuch saw him no more: then he went on his way rejoicing.
