Acts 8:25-31

25After they had boldly spoken about the message of the Lord, they spread the Good News in many Samaritan villages on their way back to Jerusalem.

26An angel from the Lord said to Philip, “Get up, and take the desert road that goes south from Jerusalem to Gaza.”

27So Philip went. An Ethiopian man who had come to Jerusalem to worship was on his way home. The man was a eunuch, a high-ranking official in charge of all the treasures of Queen Candace of Ethiopia.

28As the official rode along in his carriage, he was reading the prophet Isaiah out loud.

29The Spirit said to Philip, “Go to that carriage, and stay close to it.”

30Philip ran to the carriage and could hear the official reading the prophet Isaiah out loud. Philip asked him, “Do you understand what you’re reading?”

31The official answered, “How can I understand unless someone guides me?” So he invited Philip to sit with him in his carriage.
