Acts 8:27-39

²⁷And hee arose and went on: and beholde, a certaine Eunuche of Ethiopia, Candaces the Queene of the Ethiopians chiefe Gouernour, who had the rule of all her treasure, and came to Hierusalem to worship:

²⁸And as he returned sitting in his charet, he read Esaias the Prophet.

²⁹Then the Spirit said vnto Philip, Goe neere and ioyne thy selfe to yonder charet.

³⁰And Philip ranne thither, and heard him reade the Prophet Esaias, and said, But vnderstandest thou what thou readest?

³¹And he saide, Howe can I, except I had a guide? And he desired Philip, that he would come vp and sit with him.

³²Nowe the place of the Scripture which he read, was this, Hee was lead as a sheepe to the slaughter: and like a lambe domme before his shearer, so opened he not his mouth.

³³In his humilitie his iudgement hath bene exalted: but who shall declare his generation? for his life is taken from the earth.

³⁴Then the Eunuche answered Philippe, and saide, I pray thee of whome speaketh the Prophet this? of himselfe, or of some other man?

³⁵Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same Scripture, and preached vnto him Iesus.

³⁶And as they went on their way, they came vnto a certaine water, and the Eunuche said, See, here is water: what doeth let me to be baptized?

³⁷And Philippe said vnto him, If thou beleeuest with all thine heart, thou mayest. Then he answered, and saide, I beleeue that that Iesus Christ is that Sonne of God.

³⁸Then he commanded the charet to stand stil: and they went downe both into the water, both Philip and the Eunuche, and he baptized him.

³⁹And assoone as they were come vp out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the Eunuche sawe him no more: so he went on his way reioycing.
