25. So when they had solemnly testified and spoken the word of the Lord, they turned back toward Jerusalem, and were proclaiming the good news to many villages of the Samaritans.
26. Now an angel of the Lord spoke to Philip, saying, “Get up and go toward the south on the road that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza.” (This is a desert road.)
27. And he got up and went, and behold, there was a man, an Ethiopian eunuch (a court official of Candace, queen of the Ethiopians, who was over all her treasury) who had come to worship in Jerusalem
28. and was returning and sitting in his chariot, and reading aloud the prophet Isaiah.
29. And the Spirit said to Philip, “Approach and join this chariot.”
30. So Philip ran up to it and heard him reading aloud Isaiah the prophet and said, “So then, do you understand what you are reading?”
31. And he said, “So how could I, unless someone will guide me?” And he invited Philip to come up and sit with him.
32. Now the passage of scripture that he was reading aloud was this: “He was led like a sheep to the slaughter, and like a lamb before its shearer is silent, so he did not open his mouth.
33. In his humiliation justice was taken from him. Who can describe his descendants? For his life was taken away from the earth.”
34. And the eunuch answered and said to Philip, “I ask you, about whom does the prophet say this—about himself or about someone else?”
35. So Philip opened his mouth and beginning from this scripture, proclaimed the good news to him about Jesus.
36. And as they were traveling down the road, they came to some water. And the eunuch said, “Look! Water! What prevents me from being baptized?”
