Acts 8:27–38

²⁷And he arose and went: and behold, ^ta man of Ethiopia, ^uan eunuch ^wof great authority under Candace queen of the ^xEthiopians, who had ^ythe charge of all her treasure, and ^zhad come to Jerusalem for to worship, ²⁸was returning, and sitting in his chariot read Esaias the prophet. ²⁹Then the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself to this chariot. ³⁰And Philip ran thither to him, and heard him read the prophet Esaias, and said, ^aUnderstandest thou what thou readest? ³¹And he said, How can I, except some man should ^bguide me? And ^che desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him. ³²The place of the scripture which he read was this, ^dHe was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and like a lamb dumb before his shearer, so opened he not his mouth: ³³in his humiliation his judgment was taken away: and who shall declare his generation? for his life is taken from the earth. ³⁴And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray thee, of whom speaketh the prophet this? of himself, or of some other man? ³⁵Then Philip ^eopened his mouth, and ^fbegan at the same ^gscripture, and ^hpreached unto him Jesus. ³⁶And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth ⁱhinder me to be baptized? ³⁷And Philip said, ^jIf thou believest with all thine heart, ^kthou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that ^lJesus Christ is ^mthe Son of God. ³⁸And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him.
