Acts 8:26-28

New Testament for Everyone

Philip and the Ethiopian

²⁶ An angel of the Lord spoke to Philip.

“Get up and go south,” he said. “Go to the desert road that runs down from Jerusalem to Gaza.”

²⁷ So he got up and went. Lo and behold, there was an Ethiopian eunuch, a court official of the Candace (the queen of Ethiopia), who was in charge of her whole treasury. He had come to Jerusalem to worship, ²⁸ and was on his way back home. He was sitting in his chariot and reading the prophet Isaiah.
