15. 26 But an angel of the Lord spoke to Philip saying, “Get up and go
south to the road that descends from Jerusalem to Gaza.” (This is a
desert road.) 27 So he got up and went; and there was an Ethiopian
eunuch, a court official of Candace, queen of the Ethiopians, who was
in charge of all her treasure; and he had come to Jerusalem to
worship, 28 and he was returning and sitting in his chariot, and was
reading the prophet Isaiah. 29 Then the Spirit said to Philip, “Go up
and join this chariot.” 30 Philip ran up and heard him reading Isaiah the
prophet, and said, “Do you understand what you are reading?” 31 And
he said, “Well, how could I, unless someone guides me?” And he
invited Philip to come up and sit with him.

does the prophet say this? Of himself or of someone else?” 35Then
Philip opened his mouth, and beginning from this Scripture he
preached Jesus to him. 36As they went along the road they came to
some water; and the eunuch said, “Look! Water! What prevents me
from being baptized?” 37And Philip said, “If you believe with all your
heart, you may.” And he answered and said, “I believe that Jesus
Christ is the Son of God.” 38And he ordered the chariot to stop; and
they both went down into the water, Philip as well as the eunuch, and
he baptized him. 39When they came up out of the water, the Spirit of
the Lord snatched Philip away; and the eunuch no longer saw him, but
went on his way rejoicing. - Acts 8:34-39 NASB
