Chapter 8, verse 34 - Chapter 9, verse 12
34
The eunuch answered Philip, “Who is the prophet talking about? About himself, or about someone else?”
35
Philip opened his mouth, and beginning from this Scripture, preached to him Jesus.
36
As they went on the way, they came to some water, and the eunuch said, “Behold, here is water. What is keeping me from being baptized?”
37
And Philip said, “If you believe with all your heart, you may.” And he answered and said, “I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.”
38
He commanded the chariot to stand still, and they both went down into the water, both Philip and the eunuch, and he baptized him.
39
When they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught Philip away, and the eunuch didn’t see him any more, for he went on his way rejoicing.
40
But Philip was found at Azotus. Passing through, he preached the Good News to all the cities, until he came to Caesarea.
Chapter 9
1
But Saul, still breathing threats and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest,
2
and asked for letters from him to the synagogues of Damascus, that if he found any who were of the Way, whether men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem.
3
As he traveled, it happened that he got close to Damascus, and suddenly a light from the sky shone around him.
4
He fell on the earth, and heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?”
5
He said, “Who are you, Lord?” The Lord said, “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting.
6
But rise up, and enter into the city, and you will be told what you must do.”
7
The men who traveled with him stood speechless, hearing the sound, but seeing no one.
8
Saul arose from the ground, and when his eyes were opened, he saw no one. They led him by the hand, and brought him into Damascus.
9
He was without sight for three days, and neither ate nor drank.
10
Now there was a certain disciple at Damascus named Ananias. The Lord said to him in a vision, “Ananias!” He said, “Behold, it’s me, Lord.”
11
The Lord said to him, “Arise, and go to the street which is called Straight, and inquire in the house of Judah for one named Saul, a man of Tarsus. For behold, he is praying,
12
and in a vision he has seen a man named Ananias coming in, and laying his hands on him, that he might receive his sight.”
