Acts 8:24-33

²⁴So in answer Simon said, “You make petition to the Lord on my behalf, so that nothing of what you have spoken may come upon me!”

²⁵So when they had both thoroughly testified and spoken the Word of the Lord, they returned to Jerusalem; they also evangelized many Samaritan villages.

²⁶Then an angel of the Lord spoke to Philip saying, “Get up and go south on the road that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza; it is desolate.”

²⁷So he got up and went; and there, a man, an Ethiopian, a eunuch, a court-official of Candace the queen of the Ethiopians, who was over all her treasury, who had come worshiping to Jerusalem

²⁸—he was returning, sitting in his chariot and reading aloud the prophet Isaiah.

²⁹And the Spirit said to Philip, “Go forward and join this chariot.”

³⁰So running up Philip heard him reading the prophet Isaiah and said, “Do you really understand what you are reading?”

³¹So he said, “Well how can I, unless someone guides me?” And he urged Philip to come up and sit with him.

³²Now the portion of the Scripture that he was reading was this: “He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and as a lamb before its shearer is silent, so He does not open His mouth.

³³In His humiliation His justice was removed, and who will recount His generation? Because His life is removed from the earth.”
