Acts

                                    Chapter 8

 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 queen of the
     Ethiopians, who had the charge of all her treasure, and had
     come to Jerusalem for to worship,
 28. Was returning, and sitting in his chariot read Esaias the
     prophet.
 29. Then the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself
     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 man 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
     man?
 35. Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same
     scripture, and preached unto him Jesus.
 36. And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain
     water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth
     hinder me to be baptized?
 37. And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart,
     thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus
     Christ is the Son of God.
 38. And he commanded the chariot to stand still: 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 Caesarea.
