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.
