south unto the way that goeth down from Jerusalem unto Gaza, which is desert.
27

and went: and, behold, a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch of great authority under Candace queen of
the Ethiopians, who had the charge of all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem for to worship,
28
Was returning, and sitting in his chariot read Esaias the prophet.
29
Then the Spirit said unto
Philip, Go near, and join thyself to this chariot.
30
And Philip ran thither to
him,
