Acts 8:27-40
27SoG2532 he gotG450 up and wentG4198; and 1there was an EthiopianG128 eunuchG2135, a courtG1413 officialG1413 of CandaceG2582, queenG938 of the EthiopiansG128, whoG3739 was in chargeG1909 of allG3956 her treasureG1047; and he 2had comeG2064 to JerusalemG2419 to worshipG4352, 28and he was returningG5290 and sittingG2521 in his 3chariotG716, and was readingG314 the prophetG4396 IsaiahG2268. 29ThenG2532 4the SpiritG4151 saidG3004 to PhilipG5376, “GoG4334 up and joinG2853 thisG3778 5chariotG716.” 30PhilipG5376 ranG4370 up and heardG191 him readingG314 IsaiahG2268 the prophetG4396, and saidG3004, “Do you understandG1097 whatG3739 you are readingG314?” 31And he saidG3004, “WellG1063, howG4459 couldG1410 I, unlessG1437G3361 someoneG5100 guidesG3594 me?” And he invitedG3870 PhilipG5376 to comeG305 up and sitG2523 with him. 32NowG1161 the passageG4042 of ScriptureG1124 whichG3739 he was readingG314 was thisG3778: “6He was ledG71 as a sheepG4263 to slaughterG4967; And as a lambG286 beforeG1727 its shearerG2751 is silentG880, SoG3779 He does not openG455 His mouthG4750.337In humiliationG5014 His judgmentG2920 was takenG142 awayG142; WhoG5101 will 8relateG1334 His 9generationG1074? For His lifeG2222 is removedG142 from the earthG1093.” 34The eunuchG2135 answeredG611 PhilipG5376 and saidG3004, “PleaseG1189 tell me, of whomG5101 does the prophetG4396 sayG3004 thisG3778? Of himselfG1438 orG2228 of someoneG5100 elseG2087?” 35ThenG2532 PhilipG5376 10openedG455 his mouthG4750, and 11beginningG757 from thisG3778 ScriptureG1124 he 12preachedG2097 JesusG2424 to him. 36As they wentG4198 alongG2596 the roadG3598 they cameG2064 to someG5100 waterG5204; and the eunuchG2135 saidG5346, “LookG2400! WaterG5204! 13WhatG5101 preventsG2967 me from being baptizedG907?” 37[14And PhilipG5376 saidG3004, “IfG1487 you believeG4100 with allG3650 your heartG2588, you mayG1832.” And he answeredG611 and saidG3004, “I believeG4100 that JesusG2424 ChristG5547 is the SonG5207 of GodG2316.”] 38And he orderedG2753 the 15chariotG716 to stopG2476; and they bothG297 wentG2597 downG2597 into the waterG5204, PhilipG5376 as wellG5037 as the eunuchG2135, and he baptizedG907 him. 39WhenG3753 they cameG305 up out of the waterG5204, 16the SpiritG4151 of the LordG2962 snatchedG726 PhilipG5376 awayG726; and the eunuchG2135 noG3765 longerG3765 sawG3708 him, 17but wentG4198 on his wayG3598 rejoicingG5463. 40But PhilipG5376 18foundG2147 himself at 1920AzotusG108, and as he passedG1330 throughG1330 he 21kept preachingG2097 the gospelG2097 to allG3956 the citiesG4172 untilG2193 he cameG2064 to 22CaesareaG2542.
