Was returning, and sitting in his chariot read Esaias the prophet (8:28)

Then the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself to this chariot (8:29)

And Philip ran thither to [him], and heard him read the prophet Esaias, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest? (8:30)

And he said, How can I, except some man should guide me? And he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him (8:31)

The place of the scripture which he read was this, He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and like a lamb dumb before his shearer, so opened he not his mouth: (8:32)

In his humiliation his judgment was taken away: and who shall declare his generation? for his life is taken from the earth (8:33)

And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray thee, of whom speaketh the prophet this? of himself, or of some other man? (8:34)

Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus (8:35)

And as they went on [their] way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, [here is] water; what doth hinder me to be baptized? (8:36)

And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God (8:37)

And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him (8:38)

And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on his way rejoicing (8:39)

But Philip was found at Azotus: and passing through he preached in all the cities, till he came to Caesarea (8:40)
