Philip and the Ethiopian
(Isaiah 53:1–8 )

27 AND HAVING RISEN UP HE WENT; AND BEHOLD A MAN AN ETHIOPIAN A EUNUCH A POTENTATE OF CANDACE THE QUEEN OF ETHIOPIANS, WHO WAS OVER ALL THE TREASURE OF HER, WHO HAD COME TO THEN WORSHIP TO JERUSALEM,
27 So he started out, and on his way he met an Ethiopian eunuch, a court official in charge of the entire treasury of Candace, queen of the Ethiopians. He had gone to Jerusalem to worship,
28 HE WAS THEN RETURNING AND SITTING IN THE CHARIOT OF HIM AND HE WAS READING THE PROPHET ISAIAH.
28 and on his return was sitting in his chariot reading Isaiah the prophet.
29 SAID THEN THE SPIRIT <THE> TO PHILIP; DO GO NEAR AND DO BE JOINED TO THE CHARIOT THIS [ONE].
29 The Spirit said to Philip, “Go over to that chariot and stay by it.
30 HAVING RUN UP THEN <THE> PHILIP HEARD WHEN HE IS READING ISAIAH THE PROPHET AND SAID; SURELY NOT ALSO UNDERSTAND YOU WHAT YOU ARE READING?
30 So Philip ran up and heard the man reading Isaiah the prophet. “Do you understand what you are reading? Philip asked.
31 <THE> AND HE SAID; HOW FOR MAYBE WOULD I BE ABLE ONLY UNLESS SOMEONE WILL GUIDE ME? HE INVITED THEN <THE> PHILIP HAVING COME UP TO SIT WITH HIM.
31 “How can I, he said, “unless someone guides me? And he invited Philip to come up and sit with him.
32 <THE> NOW THE PASSAGE OF THE SCRIPTURE WHICH HE WAS READING WAS THIS: AS A SHEEP TO SLAUGHTER HE WAS LED, AND AS A LAMB BEFORE THE [ONE WHO] SHEARING HIM [IS] SILENT, SO NOT HE OPENS THE MOUTH OF HIM.
32 The eunuch was reading this passage of Scripture:
“He was led like a sheep to the slaughter,
and as a lamb before the shearer is silent,
so He did not open His mouth.
33 IN THE HUMILIATION OF HIM <THE> JUSTICE FROM HIM WAS TAKEN AWAY, THE NOW GENERATION OF HIM WHO WILL DESCRIBE? FOR IS REMOVED FROM THE EARTH THE LIFE OF HIM.
33 In His humiliation He was deprived of justice.
Who can recount His descendants?
For His life was removed from the earth.”
34 ANSWERING NOW THE EUNUCH <THE> TO PHILIP SAID; I PRAY YOU, CONCERNING WHOM THE PROPHET SAYS THIS? CONCERNING HIMSELF, OR CONCERNING OTHER SOME?
34 “Tell me, said the eunuch, “who is the prophet talking about, himself or someone else?
35 HAVING OPENED THEN <THE> PHILIP THE MOUTH OF HIM AND HAVING BEGUN FROM <THE> SCRIPTURE THIS HE EVANGELISED TO HIM [ABOUT] <THE> JESUS.
35 Then Philip began with this very Scripture and told him the good news about Jesus.
36 AS THEN THEY WERE GOING ALONG THE ROAD, THEY CAME UPON SOME WATER AND SAYS THE EUNUCH; BEHOLD WATER; WHAT PREVENTS ME TO BE BAPTIZED?
36 As they traveled along the road and came to some water, the eunuch said, “Look, here is water! What is there to prevent me from being baptized?”
37 SAID NOW <THE> PHILIP: IF BELIEVE YOU FROM ALL THE HEART IT IS LAWFUL. ANSWERING NOW SAID: I BELIEVE THE SON <THE> OF GOD TO BE <THE> JESUS CHRIST.
38 AND HE COMMANDED TO STOP THE CHARIOT, AND THEY WENT DOWN BOTH TO THE WATER, <THE> BOTH PHILIP AND THE EUNUCH, AND HE BAPTIZED HIM.
38 And he gave orders to stop the chariot. Then both Philip and the eunuch went down into the water, and Philip baptized him.
39 WHEN NOW THEY CAME UP OUT OF THE WATER, [THE] SPIRIT OF [THE] LORD CARRIED AWAY <THE> PHILIP, AND NOT SAW HIM NO LONGER THE EUNUCH; HE WAS GOING FOR THE WAY OF HIM REJOICING.
39 When they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord carried Philip away, and the eunuch saw him no more, but went on his way rejoicing.
40 PHILIP HOWEVER WAS FOUND AT AZOTUS, AND PASSING THROUGH HE WAS EVANGELISING TO THE TOWNS ALL UNTIL <THE> COMING OF HIM TO CAESAREA.
