Acts Of The Apostles 8:26-30 Common English Bible (CEB)

26. An angel from the Lord spoke to Philip, "At noon, take the road that leads from Jerusalem to Gaza." (This is a desert road.)

27. So he did. Meanwhile, an Ethiopian man was on his way home from Jerusalem, where he had come to worship. He was a eunuch and an official responsible for the entire treasury of Candace. (Candace is the title given to the Ethiopian queen.)

28. He was reading the prophet Isaiah while sitting in his carriage.

29. The Spirit told Philip, "Approach this carriage and stay with it."

30. Running up to the carriage, Philip heard the man reading the prophet Isaiah. He asked, "Do you really understand what you are reading?"
