Acts 8:29-35

²⁹The Spirit said to Philip, “Go up to the carriage over there and keep close to it.”

³⁰So Philip ran up, and he heard the Abyssinian reading the prophet Isaiah. “Do you understand what you are reading?” he asked.

³¹“How can I,” the other answered, “unless someone will explain it to me?” and he invited Philip to get up and sit by his side.

³²The passage of scripture which he was reading was this — ‘Like a sheep, he was led away to slaughter, and as a lamb is dumb in the hands of its shearer, so he refrains from opening his lips.

³³He was humiliated and justice was denied him. Who will tell the story of his generation? For his life is cut off from earth.’

³⁴“Now,” said the Treasurer, addressing Philip, “tell me, of whom is the prophet speaking? Of himself, or of someone else?”

³⁵Then Philip began, and, taking this passage as his text, told him the good news about Jesus.
