26 Now ¹an angel of the Lord said to Philip, “Rise and go toward the south^[a] to the road that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza. ” This is a desert place.

27 And he rose and went. And there was an ²Ethiopian, a ³eunuch, a court official of Candace, queen of the Ethiopians, ⁴who was in charge of all her treasure. ⁵He had come to Jerusalem to worship

28 and was returning, seated in his chariot, and he was reading the prophet Isaiah.
