Chapter 8
- 26 Then the angel of the Lord spoke to Philip, "Get up and head south on the road that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza, the desert route."
- 27 So he got up and set out. Now there was an Ethiopian eunuch, a court official of the Candace, 2 that is, the queen of the Ethiopians, in charge of her entire treasury, who had come to Jerusalem to worship,
- 28 and was returning home. Seated in his chariot, he was reading the prophet Isaiah.
- 29 The Spirit said to Philip, "Go and join up with that chariot."
- 30 Philip ran up and heard him reading Isaiah the prophet and said, "Do you understand what you are reading?"
- 31 He replied, "How can I, unless someone instructs me?" So he invited Philip to get in and sit with him.
- 32 This was the scripture passage he was reading: "Like a sheep he was led to the slaughter, and as a lamb before its shearer is silent, so he opened not his mouth.
- 33 In (his) humiliation justice was denied him. Who will tell of his posterity? For his life is taken from the earth."
- 34 Then the eunuch said to Philip in reply, "I beg you, about whom is the prophet saying this? About himself, or about someone else?"
- 35 Then Philip opened his mouth and, beginning with this scripture passage, he proclaimed Jesus to him.
- 36 As they traveled along the road they came to some water, and the eunuch said, "Look, there is water. What is to prevent my being baptized?"
- 37 "And Philip said, "If you believe with all your heart, you may.' And he said in reply, "I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.' "
- 38 Then he ordered the chariot to stop, and Philip and the eunuch both went down into the water, and he baptized him.
- 39 When they came out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord snatched Philip away, and the eunuch saw him no more, but continued on his way rejoicing.
- 40 Philip came to Azotus, and went about proclaiming the good news to all the towns until he reached Caesarea.
- 27 So he got up and set out. Now there was an Ethiopian eunuch, a court official of the Candace, 2 that is, the queen of the Ethiopians, in charge of her entire treasury, who had come to Jerusalem to worship,

Chapter 6
- 44 No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draw him, and I will raise him on the last day.
- 45 It is written in the prophets: 'They shall all be taught by God.' Everyone who listens to my Father and learns from him comes to me.
- 46 Not that anyone has seen the Father except the one who is from God; he has seen the Father.
- 47 Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever believes has eternal life.
- 48 I am the bread of life.
- 49 Your ancestors ate the manna in the desert, but they died;
- 50 this is the bread that comes down from heaven so that one may eat it and not die.
- 51 I am the living bread that came down from heaven; whoever eats this bread will live forever; and the bread that I will give is my flesh for the life of the world."
- 45 It is written in the prophets: 'They shall all be taught by God.' Everyone who listens to my Father and learns from him comes to me.
