Acts 8:26-40

26But an angelG32 of the LordG2962 spake unto PhilipG5376, sayingG3004, AriseG450, and goG4198 toward the south unto the wayG3598 that goeth downG2597 from JerusalemG2419 unto Gaza: the same isG1510 desert. 27And he aroseG450 and went: and beholdG2400, a manG435 of Ethiopia, a eunuchG2135 of great authority under Candace, queenG938 of the Ethiopians, who wasG1510 over all her treasure, who had comeG2064 to JerusalemG2419 to worshipG4352; 28and he wasG1510 returningG5290 and sittingG2521 in his chariotG716, and wasG1510 readingG314 the prophetG4396 IsaiahG2268. 29And the SpiritG4151 saidG3004 unto PhilipG5376, Go near, and joinG2853 thyself to this chariotG716. 30And PhilipG5376 ranG4370 to him, and heardG191 him readingG314 IsaiahG2268 the prophetG4396, and saidG3004, Understandest thou what thou readest? 31And he saidG3004, HowG4459 can I, except some oneG5100 shall guide me? And he besought PhilipG5376 to comeG305 up and sitG2523 with him. 32NowG1161 the passage of the scriptureG1124 which he wasG1510 readingG314 wasG1510 this,

He wasG1510 ledG71 as a sheepG4263 to the slaughterG4967;And as a lambG286 before his shearer isG1510 dumb,So he openeth not his mouthG4750:33In his humiliationG5014 his judgmentG2920 was takenG142 awayG142:His generationG1074 who shall declare?For his lifeG2222 is takenG142 from the earthG1093.

34And the eunuchG2135 answeredG611 PhilipG5376, and saidG3004, I prayG1189 thee, of whom speaketh the prophetG4396 this? of himself, or of some otherG2087? 35And PhilipG5376 openedG455 his mouthG4750, and beginningG757 from this scriptureG1124, preached unto him JesusG2424. 36And as they went on the wayG3598, they cameG2064 unto a certainG5100 waterG5204; and the eunuchG2135 saith, BeholdG2400, here is waterG5204; what doth hinderG2967 me to be baptizedG907? 371 38And he commandedG2753 the chariotG716 to standG2476 still: and they both wentG2597 downG2597 into the waterG5204, both PhilipG5376 and the eunuchG2135; and he baptizedG907 him. 39And whenG3753 they cameG305 up out of the waterG5204, the SpiritG4151 of the LordG2962 caught awayG726 PhilipG5376; and the eunuchG2135 sawG3708 him no more, for he wentG4198 on his wayG3598 rejoicingG5463. 40But PhilipG5376 was foundG2147 at Azotus: and passingG1330 through he preached the gospel to all the citiesG4172, till he cameG2064 to Cæsarea.
