25 Après avoir rendu témoignage à la parole du Seigneur, et après l’avoir prêchée, Pierre et Jean retournèrent à Jérusalem, en annonçant la bonne nouvelle dans plusieurs villages des Samaritains.
26 Un ange du Seigneur, s’adressant à Philippe, lui dit: Lève-toi, et va du côté du midi, sur le chemin qui descend de Jérusalem à Gaza, celui qui est désert.
27 Il se leva, et partit. Et voici, un Éthiopien, un eunuque, ministre de Candace, reine d’Éthiopie, et surintendant de tous ses trésors, venu à Jérusalem pour adorer,
28 s’en retournait, assis sur son char, et lisait le prophète Ésaïe.
