26. And the angel of the Lord spoke unto Philip, saying, Arise and go toward the south unto the way that goes down from Jerusalem unto Gaza, which is desert.
27. Then he arose and went, and, behold, a man of Ethiopia, a eunuch of great authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who had the charge of all her treasure and had come to Jerusalem to worship,
28. was returning and sitting in his chariot reading Isaiah the prophet.
29. Then the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near and join thyself to this chariot.
30. And Philip ran there to him and heard him read the prophet Isaiah and said, Dost thou understand what thou readest?
31. And he said, How can I, except someone should guide me? And he besought Philip to come up and sit with him.
