There he met an Ethiopian man, a eunuch and an important official in charge of all the treasury of the queen of the Ethiopians, known as Candace, who had gone to Jerusalem to worship. 28 He was on his way home, sitting in his chariot and reading the book of the prophet Isaiah. 29 The Spirit said to Philip, 'Go up to that chariot and stay near it.' 30 Then Philip ran up to the chariot and heard the man reading Isaiah the prophet. He asked, 'Do you understand what you are reading?' 31 The man replied, 'How can I understand unless someone guides me?' And he invited Philip to come up and sit with him. 32 The passage of Scripture he was reading was this: 'Like a sheep he was led to the slaughter, and like a lamb before its shearer is silent, so he did not open his mouth.' 33 In his humiliation justice was taken away from him.

Himself or someone else?' 35 Then Philip began to speak, and starting from this Scripture, he preached to him the good news about Jesus. 36 As they traveled along the road, they came to some water, and the eunuch said, 'Look, here is water!
