Acts 8:25-31
25So after Peter and John had solemnly testified and spoken the word of the Lord, they started back to Jerusalem, proclaiming the good news to many Samaritan villages as they went.
26Then an angel of the Lord said to Philip, “Get up and go south on the road that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza.” (This is a desert road.)
27So he got up and went. There he met an Ethiopian eunuch, a court official of Candace, queen of the Ethiopians, who was in charge of all her treasury. He had come to Jerusalem to worship,
28and was returning home, sitting in his chariot, reading the prophet Isaiah.
29Then the Spirit said to Philip, “Go over and join this chariot.”
30So Philip ran up to it and heard the man reading Isaiah the prophet. He asked him, “Do you understand what you’re reading?”
31The man replied, “How in the world can I, unless someone guides me?” So he invited Philip to come up and sit with him.
