and he was returning, and sitting in his chariot he was reading [the scroll of] the prophet Isaiah.

Philip ran up and heard the man reading the prophet Isaiah, and asked, “Do you understand what you are reading?”

Now this was the passage of Scripture which he was reading:“Like a sheep He was led to the slaughter;And as a lamb before its shearer is silent,So He does not open His mouth.

After the reading of the Law and the [writings of the] Prophets, the officials of the synagogue sent word to them, saying, “Brothers (kinsmen), if you have any word of encouragement for the people, say it.”

Until I come, devote yourself to public reading [of Scripture], to preaching and to teaching [the sound doctrine of God’s word].
