This passage describes an encounter between Philip and an Ethiopian eunuch. The angel of the Lord tells Philip to travel down a deserted road where he meets the Ethiopian who is reading from the prophet Isaiah in his chariot. Philip asks if he understands what he is reading, and the man invites Philip to explain it to him. Philip then uses this passage to share the good news of Jesus. When they come upon water, the eunuch asks to be baptized, and Philip baptizes him before being transported elsewhere by the Spirit to continue preaching.

2.  Act 8:26 Now an angel of the Lord told
Philip, "Get up and go south on the road
that leads from Jerusalem to Gaza. This is
a deserted road."
 Act 8:27 So he got up and went. Now
there was an Ethiopian eunuch, who was
a member of the court of Candace,
queen of the Ethiopians. He was in
charge of all her treasures and had
come up to Jerusalem to worship.

3.  Act 8:28 Now he was returning home,
seated in his chariot, and reading from
the prophet Isaiah.
 Act 8:29 The Spirit told Philip, "Approach
that chariot and stay near it."
 Act 8:30 So Philip ran up to it and heard
him reading the prophet Isaiah out loud.
Philip asked, "Do you understand what
you're reading?"

4.  Act 8:31 The man replied, "How can I
unless someone guides me?" So he
invited Philip to get in and sit with him.
 Act 8:32 This was the passage of
Scripture he was reading: "Like a sheep
he was led away to be slaughtered, and
like a lamb is silent before its shearer, so
he does not open his mouth.

5.  Act 8:33 In his humiliation, justice was
denied him. Who can describe his
descendants? For his life is taken away
from the earth."
 Act 8:34 The eunuch asked Philip, "I ask
you, who is the prophet talking about?
Himself? Or someone else?"
 Act 8:35 Then Philip began to speak,
and, starting from this Scripture, he told
him the good news about Jesus.

6.  Act 8:36 As they were going along the
road, they came to some water. The
eunuch said, "Look, there's some water.
What keeps me from being baptized?"
 Act 8:38 So he ordered the chariot to
stop, and Philip and the eunuch both
went down into the water, and Philip
baptized him.

7.  Act 8:39 When they came up out of the
water, the Spirit of the Lord snatched
Philip away. The eunuch went on his way
rejoicing and did not see Philip again.
 Act 8:40 But Philip found himself at
Azotus. As he was passing through that
region, he kept proclaiming the good
news in all the towns until he came to
Caesarea.
