- And the angel of the Lord spake unto Philip, saying, Arise, and go toward the south unto the way that goeth down from Jerusalem unto Gaza, which is desert.
- And he arose and went: and, behold, a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch of great authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who had the charge of all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem for to worship,
- Was returning, and sitting in his chariot read Esaias the prophet.
- Then the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself to this chariot.
- And Philip ran thither to him, and heard him read the prophet Esaias, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest?

- 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.)
- 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,
- and he was returning and sitting in his chariot, and was reading the prophet Isaiah.
- Then the Spirit said to Philip, "Go up and join this chariot."
- Philip ran up and heard him reading Isaiah the prophet, and said, "Do you understand what you are reading?"
