Acts 8:25-31
25And afterG3767 Peter and John had testifiedG1263 andG2532 spokenG2980 theG3588 wordG3056 of theG3588 LordG2962, they returnedG5290 toG1519 JerusalemG2414, preaching the gospelG2097 in manyG4183 of theG3588 SamaritanG4541 villagesG2968.
26NowG1161 an angelG32 of the LordG2962 saidG2980 toG4314 PhilipG5376, “Get upG450 andG2532 goG4198 southG3314 toG1909 theG3588 desertG2048 roadG3598 thatG3588 goes downG2597 fromG575 JerusalemG2419 toG1519 GazaG1048.” 27So he started outG450, andG2532 on his wayG4198 he met an EthiopianG435G128 eunuchG2135, a court officialG1413 in charge ofG1909 the entireG3956 treasuryG1047 of CandaceG2582,1 queenG938 of the EthiopiansG128. He had goneG2064 toG1519 JerusalemG2419 to worshipG4352, 28andG5037 on his returnG5290 wasG1510 sittingG2521 inG1909 hisG846 chariotG716 readingG314 IsaiahG2268 theG3588 prophetG4396.
TheG3588 SpiritG4151 saidG2036 to PhilipG5376, “Go overG4334 toG3778 that chariotG716 andG2532 stay byG2853 it.”
30So PhilipG5376 ran upG4370 and heardG191 the man readingG314 IsaiahG2268 theG3588 prophetG4396. “Do you understandG1097 whatG3739 you are readingG314?” Philip askedG2036.
31“HowG4459 can IG302G1410,” he saidG2036, “unlessG1437G3361 someoneG5100 guidesG3594 meG1473?” AndG5037 he invitedG3870 PhilipG5376 to come upG305 and sitG2523 withG4862 himG846.
