Acts 8:30-39
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: “1He was led as a sheep to slaughter; And as a lamb before its shearer is silent, So He does not open His mouth.332In humiliation His judgment was taken away; Who will 3relate His 4generation? 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 5opened his mouth, and 6beginning from this Scripture he 7preached Jesus to him. 36As they went along the road they came to some water; and the eunuch said, “Look! Water! 8What prevents me from being baptized?” 37[9And 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 10chariot 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, 11the Spirit of the Lord snatched Philip away; and the eunuch no longer saw him, 12but went on his way rejoicing.
