31 The official answered, “How can I understand unless someone helps me?” He then invited Philip to come up and sit beside him.
32 The man was reading the passage that said,“He was led like a sheepon its way to be killed.He was silent as a lambwhose woolis being cut off,and he did not saya word.
33 He was treated like a nobodyand did not receivea fair trial.How can he have children,if his lifeis snatched away?”
34 The official said to Philip, “Tell me, was the prophet talking about himself or about someone else?”
35 So Philip began at this place in the Scriptures and explained the good news about Jesus.
36-37 As they were going along the road, they came to a place where there was some water. The official said, “Look! Here is some water. Why can't I be baptized?”
38 He ordered the chariot to stop. Then they both went down into the water, and Philip baptized him.
