Acts 8:29-35

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²⁹ And the Spirit said to Philip: Go near, and join thyself to this chariot.

³⁰ And Philip running thither, heard him reading the prophet Isaias. And he said: Thinkest thou that thou understandest what thou readest?

³¹ Who said: And how can I, unless some man shew me? And he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him.

³² And the place of the scripture which he was reading was this: He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and like a lamb without voice before his shearer, so openeth he not his mouth.

³³ In humility his judgment was taken away. His generation who shall declare, for his life shall be taken from the earth?

³⁴ And the eunuch answering Philip, said: I beseech thee, of whom doth the prophet speak this? of himself, or of some other man?

³⁵ Then Philip, opening his mouth, and beginning at this scripture, preached unto him Jesus.
