32 The passage of the scripture which he was reading, was this: As a sheep for the slaughter was he led; and as a lamb before his shearer is dumb, so opened he not his mouth 33 in his humiliation. The sentence against him was taken away; but who shall describe the men of his generation? For his life was taken from the earth. 34 And the eunuch answered Philip, and said: I pray you, of whom speaks the prophet this? Of himself, or of some other man? 35 And Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached to him Jesus. 36 And as they went along the road, they came to some water; and the eunuch said: See, here is water; what hinders me from being immersed? 37 - - - 38 And he commanded the chariot to stand still; and they both went down into the water, both Philip and the eunuch, and he immersed him. 39 And when they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip; and the eunuch saw him no more, for he went on his way rejoicing. 40 But Philip was found at Azotus, and, passing through, he preached the gospel in all the cities, till he came to Caesarea Acts 8:32-40, Anderson New Testament.
