25 So when they had testified and preached the word of the Lord, they returned to Jerusalem, preaching the gospel in many villages of the Samaritans.

Christ Is Preached to an Ethiopian

26 Now an angel of the Lord spoke to aPhilip, saying, “Arise and go toward the south along the road which goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza.” This is desert.  
27 So he arose and went. And behold, aa man of Ethiopia, a eunuch of great authority under Candace the queen of the Ethiopians, who had charge of all her treasury, and bhad come to Jerusalem to worship,  
28 was returning. And sitting in his chariot, he was reading Isaiah the prophet.
29 Then the Spirit said to Philip, “Go near and overtake this chariot.”
30 So Philip ran to him, and heard him reading the prophet Isaiah, and said, “Do you understand what you are reading?”
31 And he said, “How can I, unless someone guides me?” And he asked Philip to come up and sit with him.
32 The place in the Scripture which he read was this:
a“He was led as a sheep to the slaughter;
And as a lamb before its shearer is silent,
bSo He opened not His mouth. 
33 In His humiliation His ajustice was taken away,
And who will declare His generation?
For His life is btaken from the earth.”  
34 So the eunuch answered Philip and said, “I ask you, of whom does the prophet say this, of himself or of some other man?”
35 Then Philip opened his mouth, aand beginning at this Scripture, preached Jesus to him.  
36 Now as they went down the road, they came to some water. And the eunuch said, “See, here is water. aWhat hinders me from being baptized?”  
37 Then Philip said, a“If you believe with all your heart, you may.” And he answered and said, b“I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.”  
38 So he commanded the chariot to stand still. And both Philip and the eunuch went down into the water, and he baptized him.
39 Now when they came up out of the water, athe Spirit of the Lord caught Philip away, so that the eunuch saw him no more; and he went on his way rejoicing.  
40 But Philip was found at1 Azotus. And passing through, he preached in all the cities till he came to aCaesarea.
