Acts 8:27-38

27And he roseG450 up and went. And lo, an Ethiopian, a eunuchG2135, a manG435 in power under Candace queenG938 of the Ethiopians, who wasG1510 over all her treasure, who had comeG2064 to worshipG4352 at JerusalemG2419,

28wasG1510 returningG5290 and sittingG2521 in his chariotG716: and he wasG1510 readingG314 the prophetG4396 Esaias.

29And the SpiritG4151 saidG3004 to PhilipG5376, ApproachG4334 and joinG2853 this chariotG716.

30And PhilipG5376, runningG4370 up, heardG191 him readingG314 the prophetG4396 Esaias, and saidG3004, Dost thou then knowG1097 what thou art readingG314 of?

31And he saidG3004, HowG4459 should I thenG1161 be ableG1410 unless some oneG5100 guide me? And he begged PhilipG5376 to comeG305 up and sitG2523 with him.

32And the passage of the scriptureG1124 which he readG314 wasG1510 this: He wasG1510 ledG71 as a sheepG4263 to slaughterG4967, and as a lambG286 isG1510 dumb in presence of him that shears him, thusG3779 he opensG455 not his mouthG4750.

33In his humiliationG5014 his judgmentG2920 has been takenG142 awayG142, and who shall declare his generationG1074? for his lifeG2222 is takenG142 from the earthG1093.

34And the eunuchG2135 answeringG611 PhilipG5376 saidG3004, I prayG1189 thee, concerningG4012 whom does the prophetG4396 sayG3004 this? of himself or of some otherG2087?

35And PhilipG5376, openingG455 his mouthG4750 and beginningG757 from that scriptureG1124, announced the glad tidings of JesusG2424 to him.

36And as they went along the wayG3598, they cameG2064 upon a certainG5100 waterG5204, and the eunuchG2135 saysG5346, BeholdG2400 waterG5204; what hindersG2967 my being baptised?

38And he commandedG2753 the chariotG716 to stop. And they wentG2597 down both to the waterG5204, both PhilipG5376 and the eunuchG2135, and he baptised him.
