31. The man replied, “How can I, unless someone instructs me?” And he urged Philip to come up into the carriage and sit with him.
32. The passage of Scripture he had been reading was this:“He was led like a sheep to the slaughter.And as a lamb is silent before the shearers,he did not open his mouth.
33. He was humiliated and received no justice.Who can speak of his descendants?For his life was taken from the earth.”
34. The eunuch asked Philip, “Tell me, was the prophet talking about himself or someone else?”
35. So beginning with this same Scripture, Philip told him the Good News about Jesus.
36. As they rode along, they came to some water, and the eunuch said, “Look! There’s some water! Why can’t I be baptized?”
38. He ordered the carriage to stop, and they went down into the water, and Philip baptized him.
39. When they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord snatched Philip away. The eunuch never saw him again but went on his way rejoicing.
40. Meanwhile, Philip found himself farther north at the town of Azotus. He preached the Good News there and in every town along the way until he came to Caesarea.
