Священное Писание (Восточный Перевод)
8 Шаул же одобрял это убийство.
Гонение и рассеяние верующих
С того дня началось большое гонение на иерусалимскую общину верующих, и все, кроме посланников Масиха, рассеялись по Иудее и Самарии. 2 Благочестивые люди похоронили Стефана и горько оплакивали его. 3 А Шаул преследовал общину верующих. Он ходил из дома в дом, хватал мужчин и женщин и бросал их в темницу.
Служение Филиппа в Самарии
4 Между тем, последователи Масиха, изгнанные из своих мест, возвещали Радостную Весть везде, куда бы они ни приходили. 5 Филипп пришёл в один из городов Самарии и возвещал там о Масихе. 6 Весь народ внимательно слушал то, что он говорил, и видел знамения, которые он совершал, 7 потому что из многих одержимых выходили с громким криком нечистые духи, и многие парализованные и хромые получали исцеление. 8 И в городе том была большая радость.
Колдун Шимон
9 Был там один человек по имени Шимон, который раньше занимался в этом городе колдовством, изумляя жителей Самарии; сам он выдавал себя за кого-то великого. 10 Все люди, и простые, и знатные, слушали его с восхищением, говоря:
– Этот человек – проявление всемогущего Бога, Которого называют Великим.
11 А восхищались им потому, что он уже долгое время удивлял людей своим колдовством. 12 Но когда жители этого города поверили Филиппу, возвещающему Радостную Весть о Царстве Всевышнего и об имени Исы Масиха, то многие мужчины и женщины прошли обряд погружения в воду[a]. 13 Шимон тоже поверил и прошёл обряд погружения. Он повсюду ходил за Филиппом, удивляясь знамениям и великим чудесам.
14 Когда посланники Масиха в Иерусалиме услышали о том, что в Самарии приняли слово Всевышнего, они послали к ним Петира и Иохана. 15 Те пришли и молились, чтобы новообращённые получили Святого Духа, 16 потому что ни на кого из них Дух ещё не сошёл, они только прошли обряд погружения в воду в знак единения с Повелителем Исой[b]. 17 Затем Петир и Иохан возложили на них руки, и они приняли Святого Духа. 18 Когда Шимон увидел, что Дух был дан через возложение рук посланников Масиха, он предложил им деньги, 19 говоря:
– Дайте и мне такую силу, чтобы тот, на кого я возложу руки, получал Святого Духа.
20 Но Петир ответил:
– Пусть твои деньги погибнут вместе с тобой, раз ты думаешь, что можешь купить дар Всевышнего за деньги! 21 У тебя нет никакого права участвовать в этом служении, потому что сердце твоё не право перед Всевышним. 22 Раскайся в этом зле и молись Вечному Повелителю, может быть, Он простит тебе такие мысли. 23 Я вижу, что ты полон горькой желчи и скован цепями греха.
24 Шимон ответил:
– Помолитесь обо мне Вечному Повелителю, чтобы со мной не приключилось ничего из сказанного вами.
25 Посланники Масиха свидетельствовали и возвещали там слово о Повелителе. Потом они пошли обратно в Иерусалим и по дороге возвещали Радостную Весть во многих самарийских селениях.
Уверование эфиопского евнуха
26 Ангел от Вечного сказал Филиппу:
– Ступай на юг, на безлюдную дорогу,[c] что ведёт из Иерусалима в Газу.
27 Филипп встал и пошёл. В это время там находился эфиопский евнух, придворный кандакии[d], то есть царицы эфиопов, заведовавший всей её казной. Он приезжал на поклонение в Иерусалим 28 и теперь возвращался домой. Сидя в своей колеснице, он читал пророка Исаию. 29 Дух сказал Филиппу:
– Подойди к этой колеснице и иди рядом.
30 Филипп подбежал к колеснице и услышал, что в ней читают пророка Исаию.
– Ты понимаешь то, о чём читаешь? – спросил Филипп.
31 – Как же мне понять без объяснения? – ответил тот и пригласил Филиппа подняться и сесть с ним.
32 А читал он следующее место из Писания:
«Как овца, Он был ведён на заклание,
и, как ягнёнок перед стригущим безмолвен,
так и Он не открывал уст Своих.
33 Он был унижен и лишён права на справедливый суд.
Кто может рассказать о Его потомках?
Ведь Его жизнь забирается от земли».[e]
34 Евнух спросил Филиппа:
– Скажи мне, о ком здесь говорит пророк, о себе или о ком-то другом?
35 Тогда Филипп стал объяснять, начав с этого места Писания, и рассказал ему Радостную Весть об Исе. 36-37 Тем временем они приблизились к какой-то воде.
– Смотри, вот вода, – сказал евнух. – Что мешает мне пройти обряд погружения[f]?[g]
38 Он приказал остановить колесницу, оба они, Филипп и евнух, вошли в воду, и Филипп совершил над ним обряд погружения. 39 А когда они вышли из воды, Дух Вечного Повелителя унёс Филиппа, и евнух его больше не видел. Радостный он продолжал свой путь. 40 А Филипп оказался в городе Азоте. Он возвещал Радостную Весть во всех городах, пока не пришёл в Кесарию.

8 Saulo, dunque, era stato uno di quelli che avevano approvato lʼassassinio di Stefano. Quel giorno scoppiò unʼondata di persecuzione contro la chiesa di Gerusalemme. Tutti i credenti, salvo gli apostoli, fuggirono nelle campagne della Giudea e della Samaria. 2 Alcuni uomini timorati di Dio, con gran dolore, vennero a seppellire Stefano. 3 Paolo, intanto, era spietato contro la Chiesa; entrava perfino nelle case e ne trascinava fuori uomini e donne per gettarli in prigione.
Filippo in Samaria
4 Ma quelli che erano fuggiti da Gerusalemme si sparsero ovunque, e predicavano il Vangelo di Gesù. 5 Filippo, per esempio, andò in una città della Samaria, dove parlò di Cristo alla popolazione. 6 La folla ascoltava attentamente le sue parole, grazie ai miracoli che faceva. 7 Furono cacciati molti spiriti maligni che, gridando, uscivano delle loro vittime, e molti paralitici e zoppi furono guariti. 8 Per questo gli abitanti di quella città erano davvero pieni di gioia!
Simon Mago
9-11 Nella stessa città viveva un tale, di nome Simone, che da tempo esercitava le arti magiche, strabiliando le masse. Era un tipo molto influente, che si spacciava per grandʼuomo, per questo i Samaritani, dal più piccolo al più grande, gli davano retta e spesso parlavano di lui dicendo che era la Potenza di Dio, quella chiamata Grande. 12 Però, quando ebbero creduto a Filippo, che parlava del Regno di Dio e di Gesù Cristo, molti uomini e donne si fecero battezzare. 13 Anche Simone credette, fu battezzato e cominciò a seguire Filippo come la sua ombra, incantato dai grandi miracoli che gli vedeva fare.
14 Quando gli apostoli, che erano a Gerusalemme, seppero che i Samaritani avevano creduto al messaggio di Dio, mandarono in Samaria Pietro e Giovanni. 15 Appena arrivati, i due apostoli cominciarono a pregare per i Samaritani, affinché ricevessero lo Spirito Santo. 16 Nessuno di loro infatti aveva ricevuto lo Spirito Santo, ma erano stati soltanto battezzati nel nome del Signore Gesù. 17 Allora Pietro e Giovanni posero le mani su questi credenti, ed essi ricevettero lo Spirito Santo.
18 Quando Simone vide che lo Spirito Santo veniva dato quando gli apostoli posavano le mani su qualcuno, offrì del denaro agli apostoli, dicendo:
19 «Date anche a me questo potere, in modo che quelli sui quali poserò le mani ricevano lo Spirito Santo». 20 Ma Pietro rispose: «Vai al diavolo, tu e i tuoi soldi, se hai pensato che il dono di Dio si possa comprare col denaro! 21 Tu non hai parte di sorta in tutto questo, perché la tua coscienza non è a posto davanti al Signore. 22 Pentiti di questa malvagità e prega! Forse Dio può ancora perdonare i tuoi cattivi pensieri. 23 Perché vedo che il tuo cuore è pieno di gelosia e di peccato».
24 Allora Simone esclamò: «Pregate voi per me, perché non mi capiti nulla di quello che avete detto!»
25 Dopo aver testimoniato e predicato in Samaria, Pietro e Giovanni tornarono a Gerusalemme, fermandosi, strada facendo, nei diversi villaggi samaritani, per predicare il Vangelo.
La conversione dellʼEtiope
26 Intanto, un angelo del Signore parlò a Filippo: «Àlzati e vaʼ per la strada che porta a Gerusalemme attraverso il deserto di Gaza, in direzione del mezzogiorno». 27 Filippo ubbidì e si mise in cammino. Ed ecco imbattersi in un Etiope, eunuco, ministro della regina Candace. Lʼeunuco era stato a Gerusalemme per adorare Dio nel tempio, 28 e ora stava tornando sul suo carro, leggendo ad alta voce il libro del profeta Isaia.
29 Lo Spirito Santo disse a Filippo: «Vaʼ a raggiungere quel carro!»
30 Filippo corse e, quando sentì ciò che lʼaltro stava leggendo, chiese: «Riesci a capire quello che leggi?»
31 «No, purtroppo!» rispose lʼuomo, «Come faccio a capire, se non cʼè nessuno che me lo spieghi?» E pregò Filippo di montare sul carro e di mettersi a sedere vicino a lui.
32 Il passo della Scrittura che stava leggendo era questo: «Egli è stato portato al macello come una pecora, proprio come un agnello rimane muto davanti a chi lo tosa, così egli non aprì bocca. 33 Nella sua umiliazione, giustizia gli fu negata; chi può descrivere la gente di questa generazione? Poiché gli è stata tolta la vita dalla terra».
34 Lʼeunuco chiese a Filippo: «Di chi parlava qui Isaia, di se stesso o di qualcun altro?»
35 Allora Filippo cominciò a parlare. Iniziando da questo passo della Scrittura, passò a molti altri, per spiegargli il Vangelo di Gesù.
36 Cammin facendo, giunsero ad un piccolo stagno. Lʼeunuco disse: «Ecco dellʼacqua! Posso essere battezzato?»
37 «Certo», rispose Filippo, «se credi con tutto il cuore!» E lʼeunuco rispose: «Credo che Gesù Cristo è il Figlio di Dio».
38 Poi fece fermare il carro: insieme Filippo e lʼeunuco entrarono nellʼacqua, e Filippo lo battezzò. 39 Quando uscirono dallʼacqua, lo Spirito del Signore rapì Filippo e lʼeunuco non lo vide più ma, tutto felice, continuò la sua strada. 40 Nel frattempo Filippo si era ritrovato nella città di Azot, e da lì, predicando il Vangelo in tutte le città per le quali passava, giunse a Cesarèa.

8 And Saul was consenting unto his death. And at that time there was a great persecution against the church which was at Jerusalem; and they were all scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judaea and Samaria, except the apostles.
2 And devout men carried Stephen to his burial, and made great lamentation over him.
3 As for Saul, he made havock of the church, entering into every house, and haling men and women committed them to prison.
4 Therefore they that were scattered abroad went every where preaching the word.
5 Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and preached Christ unto them.
6 And the people with one accord gave heed unto those things which Philip spake, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did.
7 For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of many that were possessed with them: and many taken with palsies, and that were lame, were healed.
8 And there was great joy in that city.
9 But there was a certain man, called Simon, which beforetime in the same city used sorcery, and bewitched the people of Samaria, giving out that himself was some great one:
10 To whom they all gave heed, from the least to the greatest, saying, This man is the great power of God.
11 And to him they had regard, because that of long time he had bewitched them with sorceries.
12 But when they believed Philip preaching the things concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.
13 Then Simon himself believed also: and when he was baptized, he continued with Philip, and wondered, beholding the miracles and signs which were done.
14 Now when the apostles which were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John:
15 Who, when they were come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost:
16 (For as yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.)
17 Then laid they their hands on them, and they received the Holy Ghost.
18 And when Simon saw that through laying on of the apostles' hands the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money,
19 Saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost.
20 But Peter said unto him, Thy money perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money.
21 Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter: for thy heart is not right in the sight of God.
22 Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee.
23 For I perceive that thou art in the gall of bitterness, and in the bond of iniquity.
24 Then answered Simon, and said, Pray ye to the Lord for me, that none of these things which ye have spoken come upon me.
25 And they, when they had testified and preached the word of the Lord, returned to Jerusalem, and preached the gospel in many villages of the Samaritans.
26 And the angel of the Lord spake unto Philip, saying, Arise, and go toward the south unto the way that goeth down from Jerusalem unto Gaza, which is desert.
27 And he arose and went: and, behold, a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch of great authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who had the charge of all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem for to worship,
28 Was returning, and sitting in his chariot read Esaias the prophet.
29 Then the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself to this chariot.
30 And Philip ran thither to him, and heard him read the prophet Esaias, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest?
31 And he said, How can I, except some man should guide me? And he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him.
32 The place of the scripture which he read was this, He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and like a lamb dumb before his shearer, so opened he not his mouth:
33 In his humiliation his judgment was taken away: and who shall declare his generation? for his life is taken from the earth.
34 And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray thee, of whom speaketh the prophet this? of himself, or of some other man?
35 Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus.
36 And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized?
37 And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.
38 And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him.
39 And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on his way rejoicing.
40 But Philip was found at Azotus: and passing through he preached in all the cities, till he came to Caesarea.

8 At si Saulo ay sumangayon sa kaniyang pagkamatay. At nang araw na yao'y nangyari ang isang malaking paguusig laban sa iglesia na nasa Jerusalem; at silang lahat ay nagsipangalat sa lahat ng mga dako ng Judea at Samaria, maliban na sa mga apostol.
2 At inilibing si Esteban ng mga taong masipag sa kabanalan, at siya'y tinangisan ng di kawasa.
3 Datapuwa't pinuksa ni Saulo ang iglesia, na pinapasok ang bahay-bahay, at kinakaladkad ang mga lalake't mga babae, at sila'y ipinapasok sa bilangguan.
4 Ang mga nagsipangalat nga ay nagsipaglakbay, na ipinangangaral ang salita.
5 At bumaba si Felipe sa bayan ng Samaria, at ipinangaral sa kanila ang Cristo.
6 At ang mga karamiha'y nangagkakaisang nangakikinig sa mga bagay na sinasalita ni Felipe, pagkarinig nila, at pagkakita ng mga tanda na ginawa niya.
7 Sapagka't sa maraming may mga karumaldumal na espiritu, ay nangagsilabas sila, na nangagsisisigaw ng malakas na tinig: at maraming lumpo, at pilay, ang pinagaling.
8 At nagkaroon ng malaking kagalakan sa bayang yaon.
9 Datapuwa't may isang tao, na nagngangalang Simon, na nang unang panaho'y nanggagaway sa bayan, at pinahahanga ang mga tao sa Samaria, at nagsasabing siya'y isang dakila:
10 Na siyang pinakikinggan nilang lahat, buhat sa kaliitliitan hanggang sa kadakidakilaan, na sinasabi, Ang taong ito ang siyang kapangyarihan ng Dios na tinatawag na Dakila.
11 At siya'y pinakinggan nila, sapagka't mahabang panahong pinahahanga niya sila ng kaniyang mga panggagaway.
12 Datapuwa't nang magsipaniwala sila kay Felipe na nangangaral ng mabubuting balita tungkol sa kaharian ng Dios at sa pangalan ni Jesucristo, ay nangabautismuhan ang mga lalake't mga babae.
13 At si Simon man ay naniwala rin: at nang mabautismuhan na, ay nanatili siyang kasama ni Felipe; at nang makakita ng mga tanda at ng mga dakilang himalang ginawa, ay napahanga siya.
14 Nang mabalitaan nga ng mga apostol na nangasa Jerusalem na tinanggap ng Samaria ang salita ng Dios, ay sinugo nila sa kanila si Pedro at si Juan:
15 Na nang sila'y makalusong, ay ipinanalangin nila sila, upang kanilang tanggapin ang Espiritu Santo.
16 Sapagka't ito'y hindi pa bumababa sa kanino man sa kanila: kundi sila'y nangabautismuhan lamang sa pangalan ng Panginoong Jesus.
17 Nang magkagayo'y ipinatong sa kanila ang kanilang mga kamay, at kanilang tinanggap ang Espiritu Santo.
18 Nang makita nga ni Simon na sa pamamagitan ng pagpapatong ng mga kamay ng mga apostol ay ibinigay ang Espiritu Santo, ay inalok niya sila ng salapi,
19 Na sinasabi, Bigyan naman ninyo ako ng kapangyarihang ito, upang sinomang patungan ko ng aking mga kamay, ay tumanggap ng Espiritu Santo.
20 Datapuwa't sinabi sa kaniya ni Pedro, Ang iyong salapi'y mapahamak na kasama mo, sapagka't inisip mong tamuhin ang kaloob ng Dios sa pamamagitan ng salapi.
21 Wala kang bahagi ni kapalaran man sa bagay na ito: sapagka't ang puso mo'y hindi matuwid sa harap ng Dios.
22 Magsisi ka nga sa kasamaan mong ito, at manalangin ka sa Panginoon, baka sakaling ipatawad sa iyo ang pagiisip ng iyong puso.
23 Sapagka't nakikita kong ikaw ay nasa apdo ng kapaitan at sa tali ng katampalasanan.
24 At sumagot si Simon at sinabi, Ipanalangin ninyo ako sa Panginoon, upang huwag mangyari sa akin ang alin mang bagay sa mga sinasabi ninyo.
25 Sila nga, nang makapagpatotoo at masabi na nila ang salita ng Panginoon, ay nangagbalik sa Jerusalem, at ipinangaral ang evangelio sa maraming nayon ng mga Samaritano.
26 Datapuwa't nagsalita kay Felipe ang isang anghel ng Panginoon, na nagsasabi, Magtindig ka, at ikaw ay pumaroon sa dakong timugan, sa daang palusong mula sa Jerusalem hanggang sa Gaza: na ito'y ilang.
27 At siya'y nagtindig at yumaon: at narito, ang isang lalaking taga Etiopia, isang bating na may dakilang kapamahalaan na sakop ni Candace, reina ng mga Etiope, na siyang namamahala ng lahat niyang kayamanan, at siya'y naparoon sa Jerusalem upang sumamba;
28 At siya'y pabalik at nakaupo sa kaniyang karo, at binabasa ang propeta Isaias.
29 At sinabi kay Felipe ng Espiritu, Lumapit ka, at makisama sa karong ito.
30 At tumakbo si Felipeng patungo sa kaniya, at napakinggan niyang binabasa si Isaias na propeta, at sinabi, Nauunawa mo baga ang binabasa mo?
31 At sinabi niya, Paanong magagawa ko, maliban nang may pumatnubay sa aking sinoman? At pinakiusapan niya si Felipe na pumanhik at maupong kasama niya.
32 Ang dako nga ng kasulatan na binabasa niya ay ito, Siya'y gaya ng tupa na dinala sa patayan; At kung paanong hindi umimik ang kordero sa harap ng manggugupit sa kaniya, Gayon din hindi niya binubuka ang kaniyang bibig:
33 Sa kaniyang pagpapakababa'y inalis ang kaniyang paghuhukom. Sino ang maghahayag ng kaniyang lahi? Sapagka't inalis sa lupa ang kaniyang buhay.
34 At sumagot ang bating kay Felipe, at sinabi, Ipinamamanhik ko sa iyo, kanino sinasabi ng propeta ito? sa kaniya bagang sarili, o sa alin mang iba?
35 At binuka ni Felipe ang kaniyang bibig, at pagpapasimula sa kasulatang ito, ay ipinangaral sa kaniya si Jesus.
36 At sa pagpapatuloy sa daan, ay nagsidating sila sa dakong may tubig; at sinabi ng bating, Narito, ang tubig; ano ang nakahahadlang upang ako'y mabautismuhan?
37 At sinabi ni Felipe Kung nanampalataya ka ng buong puso ay mangyayari. At sumagot siya at sinabi: Sumasampalataya ako na si Jesu-Cristo ay Anak ng Dios.
38 At ipinagutos niyang itigil ang karo: at sila'y kapuwa lumusong sa tubig, si Felipe at ang bating; at kaniyang binautismuhan siya.
39 At nang magsiahon sila sa tubig, ay inagaw si Felipe ng Espiritu ng Panginoon; at hindi na siya nakita ng bating, sapagka't ipinagpatuloy niya ang kaniyang lakad na natutuwa.
40 Nguni't nasumpungan si Felipe sa Azoto: at sa pagdadaan ay ipinangaral niya ang evangelio sa lahat ng mga bayan, hanggang sa dumating siya sa Cesarea.

8 And Saul(A) approved of their killing him.
The Church Persecuted and Scattered
On that day a great persecution broke out against the church in Jerusalem, and all except the apostles were scattered(B) throughout Judea and Samaria.(C) 2 Godly men buried Stephen and mourned deeply for him. 3 But Saul(D) began to destroy the church.(E) Going from house to house, he dragged off both men and women and put them in prison.
Philip in Samaria
4 Those who had been scattered(F) preached the word wherever they went.(G) 5 Philip(H) went down to a city in Samaria and proclaimed the Messiah there. 6 When the crowds heard Philip and saw the signs he performed, they all paid close attention to what he said. 7 For with shrieks, impure spirits came out of many,(I) and many who were paralyzed or lame were healed.(J) 8 So there was great joy in that city.
Simon the Sorcerer
9 Now for some time a man named Simon had practiced sorcery(K) in the city and amazed all the people of Samaria. He boasted that he was someone great,(L) 10 and all the people, both high and low, gave him their attention and exclaimed, “This man is rightly called the Great Power of God.”(M) 11 They followed him because he had amazed them for a long time with his sorcery. 12 But when they believed Philip as he proclaimed the good news of the kingdom of God(N) and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized,(O) both men and women. 13 Simon himself believed and was baptized. And he followed Philip everywhere, astonished by the great signs and miracles(P) he saw.
14 When the apostles in Jerusalem heard that Samaria(Q) had accepted the word of God,(R) they sent Peter and John(S) to Samaria. 15 When they arrived, they prayed for the new believers there that they might receive the Holy Spirit,(T) 16 because the Holy Spirit had not yet come on any of them;(U) they had simply been baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.(V) 17 Then Peter and John placed their hands on them,(W) and they received the Holy Spirit.(X)
18 When Simon saw that the Spirit was given at the laying on of the apostles’ hands, he offered them money 19 and said, “Give me also this ability so that everyone on whom I lay my hands may receive the Holy Spirit.”
20 Peter answered: “May your money perish with you, because you thought you could buy the gift of God with money!(Y) 21 You have no part or share(Z) in this ministry, because your heart is not right(AA) before God. 22 Repent(AB) of this wickedness and pray to the Lord in the hope that he may forgive you for having such a thought in your heart. 23 For I see that you are full of bitterness and captive to sin.”
24 Then Simon answered, “Pray to the Lord for me(AC) so that nothing you have said may happen to me.”
25 After they had further proclaimed the word of the Lord(AD) and testified about Jesus, Peter and John returned to Jerusalem, preaching the gospel in many Samaritan villages.(AE)
Philip and the Ethiopian
26 Now an angel(AF) of the Lord said to Philip,(AG) “Go south to the road—the desert road—that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza.” 27 So he started out, and on his way he met an Ethiopian[a](AH) eunuch,(AI) an important official in charge of all the treasury of the Kandake (which means “queen of the Ethiopians”). This man had gone to Jerusalem to worship,(AJ) 28 and on his way home was sitting in his chariot reading the Book of Isaiah the prophet. 29 The Spirit told(AK) 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.”[b](AL)
34 The eunuch asked Philip, “Tell me, please, who is the prophet talking about, himself or someone else?” 35 Then Philip began(AM) with that very passage of Scripture(AN) and told him the good news(AO) 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?”(AP) [37] [c] 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,(AQ) and the eunuch did not see him again, but went on his way rejoicing. 40 Philip, however, appeared at Azotus and traveled about, preaching the gospel in all the towns(AR) until he reached Caesarea.(AS)
