Acts 8:26-38

Now an angel of the Lord spoke to Philip, saying, “Get up, and go south on the road going down from Jerusalem to Gaza.” (This is a desert road.) So he got up and went. And behold, an Ethiopian eunuch—an official who was responsible for all the treasure of Candace, queen of the Ethiopians—had traveled to Jerusalem to worship and was now returning. Sitting in his chariot, he was reading the prophet Isaiah. The Ruach said to Philip, “Go, catch up with this chariot.” Philip ran up and heard him reading the prophet Isaiah and said, “Do you understand what you are reading?” “How can I,” he said, “unless someone guides me?” So he invited Philip to come up and sit with him. Now the passage of Scripture that he was reading was this: “He was led as a sheep to slaughter; and as a lamb before its shearer is silent, so He opens not His Mouth. In His humiliation justice was denied Him. Who shall recount His generation? For His life is taken away from the earth.” The eunuch replied to Philip, “Please tell me, who is the prophet talking about—himself or someone else?” Then Philip opened his mouth, and beginning with this Scripture he proclaimed the Good News about Yeshua. Now as they were going down the road, they came to some water. The eunuch said, “Look, water! What’s to prevent me from being immersed?” He ordered the chariot to stop. They both got down into the water, Philip and the eunuch, and Philip immersed him.
