You have no part at all in this matter; because in the eyes of God, your heart is crooked.
22
So repent of this wickedness of yours, and pray to the Lord. Perhaps you will yet be forgiven for holding such a thought in your heart.
23

Shim'on answered, "Pray to the Lord for me, so that none of the things you have spoken about will happen to me."
25
Then, after giving a thorough witness and speaking the Word of the Lord, Kefa and Yochanan started back to Yerushalayim, announcing the Good News to many villages in Shomron.
26
An angel of ADONAI said to Philip, "Get up, and go southward on the road that goes down from Yerushalayim to 'Azah, the desert road."
27
So he got up and went. On his way, he caught sight of an Ethiopian, a eunuch who was minister in charge of all the treasure of the Kandake, or queen, of Ethiopia. He had been to Yerushalayim to worship;
28
and now, as he was returning home, he was sitting in his chariot, reading the prophet Yesha'yahu.
29
The Spirit said to Philip, "Go over to this chariot, and stay close to it."
30
As Philip ran up, he heard the Ethiopian reading from Yesha'yahu the prophet. "Do you understand what you're reading?" he asked.
31
"How can I," he said, "unless someone explains it to me?" And he invited Philip to climb up and sit with him.
