Scriptures

New Living Translation (NLT)

Acts 8
³¹ The man replied, “How can I, unless someone instructs me?” And he urged Philip to come up into the carriage and sit with him.
³² The passage of Scripture he had been reading was this: “He was led like a sheep to the slaughter. And as a lamb is silent before the shearers, he did not open his mouth.
³³ He was humiliated and received no justice. Who can speak of his descendants? For his life was taken from the earth.”
³⁴ The eunuch asked Philip, “Tell me, was the prophet talking about himself or someone else?”
³⁵ So beginning with this same Scripture, Philip told him the Good News about Jesus.
³⁶ As they rode along, they came to some water, and the eunuch said, “Look! There’s some water! Why can’t I be baptized?”
³⁷ [No Text]
³⁸ He ordered the carriage to stop, and they went down into the water, and Philip baptized him.
³⁹ When they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord snatched Philip away. The eunuch never saw him again but went on his way rejoicing.
⁴⁰ Meanwhile, Philip found himself farther north at the town of Azotus. He preached the Good News there and in every town along the way until he came to Caesarea.
Acts 9
¹ Meanwhile, Saul was uttering threats with every breath and was eager to kill the Lord’s followers. So he went to the high priest.
