27 He arose and went. Now there was a man of Ethiopia, a eunuch of high rank under Candace, queen of the Ethiopians, who was over her treasury. He had been to Jerusalem to worship
28 and was on his return, sitting in his chariot and reading the prophet Isaiah.
29 The Spirit said to Philip, "Go up and join this chariot."
30 Philip ran up and heard him reading Isaiah the prophet, and said, "Do you understand what you are reading?"
31 He said, "How can I without some one to guide me?" He begged Philip to come up and sit with him.
32 The passage of Scripture that he was reading was, "He was led as a sheep to slaughter, and as a lamb before his shearer is dumb, so he did not open his mouth.
33 In his humiliation justice was denied him. Who will describe his generation? For his life is taken away from the earth."
34 The eunuch said to Philip, "Please tell me, of whom is the prophet speaking — of himself or of some one else?"
35 Philip opened his mouth and beginning with that Scripture told him the good news about Jesus.
36 As they were going along the road they came to water, and the eunuch said, "Here is water. What is there to hinder my being baptized?"

38 He ordered the chariot to stop and they both went down into the water, Philip and the eunuch, and he baptized him.
39 When they had come up out of the water, the Spirit caught away Philip, and the eunuch saw him no more. He went on his way rejoicing.
40 But Philip found himself at Azotus, and passing through all the cities he told the good news until he came to Casarea.
