Acts 8:30-39

30And Philip ran to him, and heard him reading Isaiah the prophet, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest?

31And he said, How can I, except some one shall guide me? And he besought Philip to come up and sit with him.

32Now the place of the scripture which he was reading was this, He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; And as a lamb before his shearer is dumb, So he openeth not his mouth:

33In his humiliation his judgment was taken away: His generation who shall declare? For his life is taken from the earth.

34And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray thee, of whom speaketh the prophet this? of himself, or of some other?

35And Philip opened his mouth, and beginning from this scripture, preached unto him Jesus.

36And as they went on the way, they came unto a certain water; and the eunuch saith, Behold, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized?

371

38And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they both went down into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him.

39And when they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip; and the eunuch saw him no more, for he went on his way rejoicing.
