Acts 8:26-30 New English Translation (NET)

26. Then an angel of the Lord said to Philip, “Get up and go south on the road that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza.” (This is a desert road.)

27. So he got up and went. There he met an Ethiopian eunuch, a court official of Candace, queen of the Ethiopians, who was in charge of all her treasury. He had come to Jerusalem to worship,

28. and was returning home, sitting in his chariot, reading the prophet Isaiah.

29. Then the Spirit said to Philip, “Go over and join this chariot.”

30. So Philip ran up to it and heard the man reading Isaiah the prophet. He asked him, “Do you understand what you’re reading?”
