Acts 8:27-40

27So he got up and went; and 1there was an Ethiopian eunuch, a court official of Candace, queen of the Ethiopians, who was in charge of all her treasure; and he 2had come to Jerusalem to worship, 28and he was returning and sitting in his 3chariot, and was reading the prophet Isaiah. 29Then 4the Spirit said to Philip, “Go up and join this 5chariot.” 30Philip ran up and heard him reading Isaiah the prophet, and said, “Do you understand what you are reading?” 31And he said, “Well, how could I, unless someone guides me?” And he invited Philip to come up and sit with him. 32Now the passage of Scripture which he was reading was this: “6He was led as a sheep to slaughter; And as a lamb before its shearer is silent, So He does not open His mouth.337In humiliation His judgment was taken away; Who will 8relate His 9generation? For His life is removed from the earth.” 34The eunuch answered Philip and said, “Please tell me, of whom does the prophet say this? Of himself or of someone else?” 35Then Philip 10opened his mouth, and 11beginning from this Scripture he 12preached Jesus to him. 36As they went along the road they came to some water; and the eunuch said, “Look! Water! 13What prevents me from being baptized?” 37[14And Philip said, “If you believe with all your heart, you may.” And he answered and said, “I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.”] 38And he ordered the 15chariot to stop; and they both went down into the water, Philip as well as the eunuch, and he baptized him. 39When they came up out of the water, 16the Spirit of the Lord snatched Philip away; and the eunuch no longer saw him, 17but went on his way rejoicing. 40But Philip 18found himself at 1920Azotus, and as he passed through he 21kept preaching the gospel to all the cities until he came to 22Caesarea.
