25SoG3767, when they had solemnlyG1263 1testifiedG1263 and spokenG2980 2the wordG3056 of the LordG2962, they startedG5290 backG5290 to JerusalemG2414, and were 3preachingG2097 the gospelG2097 to manyG4183 villagesG2968 of the 4SamaritansG4541.
26But 5an angelG32 of the LordG2962 spokeG2980 to 6PhilipG5376, sayingG3004, “GetG450 readyG450 and goG4198 7southG2596G3314 to the roadG3598 that descendsG2597 from JerusalemG2419 to 8GazaG1048.” (9ThisG3778 is a desertG2048 road.) 27SoG2532 he gotG450 readyG450 and wentG4198; and 1011there was an EthiopianG128 eunuchG2135, a courtG1413 officialG1413 of 12CandaceG2582, queenG938 of the EthiopiansG128, whoG3739 was inG1909 chargeG1909 of allG3956 her treasureG1047; and he 13had comeG2064 to JerusalemG2419 to worshipG4352, 28and he was returningG5290 and sittingG2521 in his 14chariotG716, and was readingG314 IsaiahG2268 the prophetG4396. 29ThenG2532 15the SpiritG4151 saidG3004 to PhilipG5376, “GoG4334 upG4334 and joinG2853 thisG3778 16chariotG716.” 30PhilipG5376 ranG4370 upG4370 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 upG305 and sitG2523 with him.
