Acts 8:29-35

²⁹God's Spirit told Philip, “Go near to that chariot and keep walking close to the man who is riding in it!”

³⁰So Philip ran to the chariot and kept running close to it. Then he heard the official reading what the prophet Isaiah had written. He asked the man, “Do you (sg) understand what you are reading?”

³¹He answered Philip, “ No! ◄I cannot possibly understand it if there is no one to explain it to me!/How can I understand it if there is no one to explain it to me?► RHQ” Acts 8:31b-35 Then the man said to Philip, “Please come up and sit beside me.” So Philip did that.

³²The part of the Scriptures that the official was reading was this: He will be silent when they lead him away to kill him like when a sheep is led away to be killed. As a young sheep is silent when its wool is being cut off {someone cuts off its wool}, similarly he will not protest MTY when people cause him to suffer.

³³When he will be humiliated by being accused falsely {people will humiliate him by accusing him falsely}, the rulers ◄will not consider him innocent/will consider him guilty►. No one will possibly be able to tell about his descendants, because he will be killed {people will kill him} without him having any descendants on the earth.

³⁴The official asked Philip about these words that he was reading, “Tell me, who was the prophet writing about? Was he writing about himself or about someone else?”

³⁵So Philip began to explain that Scripture passage. He told him the good message about MTY Jesus. So the official understood and believed in Jesus.
