"So Philip, starting from this writing, gave him the good news about Jesus."
— Acts 8:35, Bible in Basic English
“Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus.”
Now the place in the book where he was reading was this: He was taken, like a sheep, to be put to death; and as a lamb is quiet when its wool is being cut, so he made no sound:
Being of low degree, his cause was not given a hearing: who has knowledge of his family? for his life is cut off from the earth.
And the Ethiopian said to Philip, About whom are these words said by the prophet? about himself, or some other?
So Philip, starting from this writing, gave him the good news about Jesus.
And while they were going on their way, they came to some water, and the Ethiopian said, See, here is water; why may I not have baptism?
And he gave orders for the carriage to be stopped, and the two of them went down into the water, and Philip gave him baptism.
