26 And an angel of the Lord spoke to Philip, saying, Arise and go to the south, by the way that leads from Jerusalem to Gaza; this is a wilderness.
27 And he arose and went. And behold a man, an Ethiopian eunuch, an officer of Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who was over all her treasures, who had come to Jerusalem to worship,
28 and he was returning and sitting in his chariot reading the prophet Isaiah.
29 (6:5) And the Spirit said to Philip, Go forward and join yourself to his chariot.
30 And Philip running forward heard him reading the prophet Isaiah, and he said, Do you really understand what you read?
31 And he said [No]; for how can I unless some one teaches me? And he invited Philip to come up and sit with him.
32 And the passage of Scripture which he was reading, was this; As a sheep is led to slaughter, and as a lamb before one that shears him is dumb, so he opened not his mouth.
33 In his humiliation his judgment was taken away; and who will tell of his generation? for his life was taken from the earth.
34 (6:6) And the eunuch answered and said to Philip, Of whom I pray you does the prophet say this? of himself or of some other one?
35 And Philip opening his mouth, and beginning from this Scripture, preached to him the good news of Jesus.
36 And as they went on the way they came to a certain water, and the eunuch said, Behold water; what hinders me from being baptized?
37 (Added verse not retained in Sawyer)
38 And he commanded the chariot to stop, and they both went down to the water, both Philip and the eunuch, and he baptized him.
39 And when they went up from the water the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, and the eunuch saw him no more; for he went his way rejoicing.
