使徒行傳 8:26-40

26 有主的一個使者對腓利說：「起來，向南走，往那從耶路撒冷下加沙的路上去！」那路是曠野。 27 腓利就起身去了。不料，有一個埃塞俄比亞人，是個有大權的太監，在埃塞俄比亞女王干大基的手下總管銀庫。他上耶路撒冷禮拜去了， 28 現在回來，在車上坐著，念先知以賽亞的書。 29 聖靈對腓利說：「你去，貼近那車走！」 30 腓利就跑到太監那裡，聽見他念先知以賽亞的書，便問他說：「你所念的你明白嗎？」 31 他說：「沒有人指教我，怎能明白呢？」於是請腓利上車與他同坐。 32 他所念的那段經說：「他像羊被牽到宰殺之地，又像羊羔在剪毛的人手下無聲，他也是這樣不開口。 33 他卑微的時候，人不按公義審判他。誰能述說他的世代？因為他的生命從地上奪去。』 34 太監對腓利說：「請問，先知說這話是指著誰？是指著自己呢，是指著別人呢？」 35 腓利就開口從這經上起，對他傳講耶穌。

36 二人正往前走，到了有水的地方，太監說：「看哪，這裡有水！我受洗有什麼妨礙呢？」 38 於是吩咐車站住，腓利和太監二人同下水裡去，腓利就給他施洗。 39 從水裡上來，主的靈把腓利提了去。太監也不再見他了，就歡歡喜喜地走路。 40 後來有人在亞鎖都遇見腓利；他走遍那地方，在各城宣傳福音，直到愷撒利亞。

Acts 8:26-40

26 Now an angel of the Lord spoke to Philip, saying, “Arise and go toward the south along the road which goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza.” This is desert. 27 So he arose and went. And behold, a man of Ethiopia, a eunuch of great authority under Candace the queen of the Ethiopians, who had charge of all her treasury, and had come to Jerusalem to worship, 28 was returning. And sitting in his chariot, he was reading Isaiah the prophet. 29 Then the Spirit said to Philip, “Go near and overtake this chariot.”

30 So Philip ran to him, and heard him reading the prophet Isaiah, and said, “Do you understand what you are reading?”

31 And he said, “How can I, unless someone guides me?” And he asked Philip to come up and sit with him. 32 The place in the Scripture which he read was this:

“He was led as a sheep to the slaughter;
And as a lamb before its shearer is silent,
So He opened not His mouth.
33 In His humiliation His justice was taken away,
And who will declare His generation?
For His life is taken from the earth.”

34 So the eunuch answered Philip and said, “I ask you, of whom does the prophet say this, of himself or of some other man?” 35 Then Philip opened his mouth, and beginning at this Scripture, preached Jesus to him. 36 Now as they went down the road, they came to some water. And the eunuch said, “See, here is water. What hinders me from being baptized?”

37 Then 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.”

38 So he commanded the chariot to stand still. And both Philip and the eunuch went down into the water, and he baptized him. 39 Now when they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught Philip away, so that the eunuch saw him no more; and he went on his way rejoicing. 40 But Philip was found at Azotus. And passing through, he preached in all the cities till he came to Caesarea.
