ACTS 8:26-40
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.
8:27 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,
8:28 Was returning, and sitting in his chariot read Esaias the prophet.
8:29 Then the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself to this 
chariot.
8:30 And Philip ran thither to him, and heard him read the prophet Esaias, and 
said, Understandest thou what thou readest?
8:31 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.
8:32 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:
8:33 In his humiliation his judgment was taken away: and who shall declare his 
generation? for his life is taken from the earth.
8:34 And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray thee, of whom speaketh 
the prophet this? of himself, or of some other man?
8:35 Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and 
preached unto him Jesus.
8:36 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?
8:37 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.
8:38 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.
8:39 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.
8:40 But Philip was found at Azotus: and passing through he preached in all the 
cities, till he came to Caesarea.
