29 这时,圣灵对腓利说∶“到那辆车那里去,靠近它。” 30 腓利便走向那辆车子。他听到那太监正在读先知以赛亚的书,于是说道∶“你明白你所读的吗?”

31 太监回答说∶“除非有人给我讲解,否则我怎么能明白呢?”说完,便邀请腓利一起坐上车去, 32 他读的那一段经 [a]文是:

“他就像牵去被屠杀的羊,
就像剪毛人手下沉默的羊羔,
他也没有开口。
33 他在屈辱中被剥夺了正义,
谁又会去谈论他的后代?
因为他的生命已从地球上被夺走。” (A)

34 太监对腓利说∶“请告诉我,这个先知谈论的是谁;他是在说自己,还是在说别人?” 35 于是,腓利就从这部《经》讲起,对他叙说关于耶稣的福音。

36 正当他们沿路行走时,遇到了一汪水。太监说道∶“看哪,这儿有水!有什么能阻止我接受洗礼呢?” 37  [b] 38 说罢,他命令车子停下来。然后,两人走下车子,下到水中,腓利为他施了洗礼。 39 当他们从水里出来时,主的灵便把腓利带走了。太监没有再见到腓利,而是兴高采烈的继续赶路去了。

29 The Spirit told(A) Philip, “Go to that chariot and stay near it.”

30 Then Philip ran up to the chariot and heard the man reading Isaiah the prophet. “Do you understand what you are reading?” Philip asked.

31 “How can I,” he said, “unless someone explains it to me?” So he invited Philip to come up and sit with him.

32 This is the passage of Scripture the eunuch was reading:

“He was led like a sheep to the slaughter,
    and as a lamb before its shearer is silent,
    so he did not open his mouth.
33 In his humiliation he was deprived of justice.
    Who can speak of his descendants?
    For his life was taken from the earth.”[a](B)

34 The eunuch asked Philip, “Tell me, please, who is the prophet talking about, himself or someone else?” 35 Then Philip began(C) with that very passage of Scripture(D) and told him the good news(E) about Jesus.

36 As they traveled along the road, they came to some water and the eunuch said, “Look, here is water. What can stand in the way of my being baptized?”(F) [37] [b] 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 they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord suddenly took Philip away,(G) and the eunuch did not see him again, but went on his way rejoicing.
