Acts 8:26-39

26ButG1161 anG1510 angelG32 ofG575 theG3588 LordG2962 spake unto PhilipG5376, sayingG3004, AriseG450, andG2532 goG4198 towardG1519 theG3588 southG3314 unto theG3588 wayG3598 thatG3004 goeth downG2597 fromG575 JerusalemG2419 unto GazaG1048: theG3588 sameG3778 isG1510 desertG2048.

27AndG2532 heG2532 aroseG450 andG2532 wentG2064: andG2532 beholdG2400, aG1510 manG435 ofG435 Ethiopia, aG1510 eunuchG2135 ofG435 greatG3956 authority underG1909 CandaceG2582, queenG938 ofG435 theG3956 EthiopiansG128, whoG3739 wasG1510 overG1909 allG3956 herG846 treasureG1047, whoG3739 hadG1510 comeG2064 toG1519 JerusalemG2419 forG1519 toG1519 worshipG4352;

28andG2532 heG2532 wasG1510 returningG5290 andG2532 sittingG2521 inG1909 hisG846 chariotG716, andG2532 wasG1510 readingG314 theG3588 prophetG4396 IsaiahG2268.

29AndG2532 theG3588 SpiritG4151 saidG3004 unto PhilipG5376, GoG4334 nearG4334, andG2532 joinG2853 thyself toG3004 thisG3778 chariotG716.

30AndG2532 PhilipG5376 ranG4370 toG3004 himG846, andG2532 heardG191 himG846 readingG314 IsaiahG2268 theG3588 prophetG4396, andG2532 saidG3004, Understandest thou whatG3739 thou readest?

31AndG1161 heG846 saidG3004, HowG4459 canG1410 IG1473, exceptG3361 someG5100 oneG5100 shall guideG3594 meG3004? AndG1161 heG846 besought PhilipG5376 toG3004 comeG305 upG305 andG1161 sitG2523 withG4862 himG846.

32NowG1161 theG3588 place ofG1909 theG3588 scriptureG1124 whichG3739 heG2532 wasG1510 readingG314 wasG1510 thisG3778, HeG2532 wasG1510 ledG71 asG5613 a sheepG4263 toG1909 theG3588 slaughterG4967; AndG2532 asG5613 a lambG286 beforeG1909 hisG846 shearerG2751 isG1510 dumb, SoG2532 heG2532 openeth notG3756 hisG846 mouthG4750:

33InG1722 hisG846 humiliationG5014 hisG846 judgmentG2920 was takenG142 awayG142: HisG846 generationG1074 whoG3588 shall declareG1334? ForG3754 hisG846 lifeG2222 is takenG142 fromG575 theG3588 earthG1093.

34AndG1161 theG3588 eunuchG2135 answeredG611 PhilipG5376, andG1161 saidG3004, IG3778 prayG1189 thee, ofG5100 whomG5101 speaketh theG3588 prophetG4396 thisG3778? ofG5100 himselfG1438, orG2228 ofG5100 someG5100 otherG2087?

35AndG2532 PhilipG5376 openedG455 hisG846 mouthG4750, andG2532 beginningG757 fromG575 thisG3778 scriptureG1124, preachedG2097 unto himG846 JesusG2424.

36AndG2532 asG5613 theyG2532 wentG2064 onG1909 theG3588 wayG3598, theyG2532 cameG2064 unto a certainG5100 waterG5204; andG2532 theG3588 eunuchG2135 saith, BeholdG2400, hereG2400 is waterG5204; whatG5101 doth hinderG2967 meG1473 toG1909 beG2532 baptizedG907?

371

38AndG2532 heG2532 commandedG2753 theG3588 chariotG716 toG1519 standG2476 stillG2476: andG2532 theyG846 bothG5037 wentG2597 downG2597 intoG1519 theG3588 waterG5204, bothG5037 PhilipG5376 andG2532 theG3588 eunuchG2135; andG2532 heG2532 baptizedG907 himG846.

39AndG2532 whenG3753 theyG846 cameG305 upG305 outG1537 ofG1537 theG3588 waterG5204, theG3588 SpiritG4151 ofG1537 theG3588 LordG2962 caughtG726 awayG726 PhilipG5376; andG2532 theG3588 eunuchG2135 sawG3708 himG846 noG3756 moreG3765, forG1063 heG2532 wentG4198 onG1537 hisG846 wayG3598 rejoicingG5463.
