20

Peter answered: “May your money perish with you, because you thought you could buy the gift of God with money!

You have no part or share in this ministry, because your heart is not right before God.

Repent of this wickedness and pray to the Lord. Perhaps he will forgive you for having such a thought in your heart.

and on his way home was sitting in his chariot reading the book of Isaiah the prophet.

29

The Spirit told Philip, “Go to that chariot and stay near it.”

“How can I,” he said, “unless someone explains it to me?” So he invited Philip to come up and sit with him.

32

A

The eunuch was reading this passage of Scripture: “He was led like a sheep to the slaughter, and as a lamb before the shearer is silent, so he did not open his mouth.

33

The eunuch asked Philip, “Tell me, please, who is the prophet talking about, himself or someone else?”

35

As they traveled along the road, they came to some water and the eunuch said, “Look, here is water. Why shouldn’t I be baptized?”
