And he said, How can I, except somebody guide me? And he called upon Philip coming up to sit with him. And the passage of the writing which he read was this, As a sheep for slaughter was he brought; and as a lamb before him shearing it dumb, so he opened not his mouth: In his humiliation was his judgment taken away: and his generation who shall recount? for his life is taken from the earth. And the eunuch having answered Philip, said, I pray thee, of whom speaks the prophet this of himself or of some other? And Philip having opened his mouth, and begun from this writing, announced to him the good news, Jesus. And as they went in the way, they came to some water: and the eunuch said, Behold water; what hinders me to be immersed? And Philip said, If thou believest from the whole heart, it is lawful. And having answered, he said, I believe the Son of God to be Jesus Christ. And he ordered the chariot to stand: and both went down into the Water, both Philip and the eunuch: and he immersed him. And when they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord carried away Philip, and the eunuch saw him no more: for he went his way rejoicing.
