30
So Philip ran up to it and heard him reading the prophet Isaiah. He asked, "Do you understand what you are reading?"
31
He replied, "How can I, unless someone guides me?" And he invited Philip to get in and sit beside him.
32
Now the passage of the scripture that he was reading was this: "Like a sheep he was led to the slaughter, and like a lamb silent before its shearer, so he does not open his mouth.
33
In his humiliation justice was denied him. Who can describe his generation? For his life is taken away from the earth."
34
The eunuch asked Philip, "About whom, may I ask you, does the prophet say this, about himself or about someone else?"
35
Then Philip began to speak, and starting with this scripture, he proclaimed to him the good news about Jesus.
