The Acts of the Apostles 8: 26-40

8:26	Now an Angel of the Lord spoke to Philip, казвайки, “Rise up and go toward the south, to the way which descends from Jerusalem into Gaza, where there is a desert.”
8:27	And rising up, he went. И ето, an Ethiopian man, a eunuch, powerful under Candace, the queen of the Ethiopians, who was over all her treasures, had arrived in Jerusalem to worship.
8:28	And while returning, he was sitting upon his chariot and reading from the prophet Isaiah.
8:29	Then the Spirit said to Philip, “Draw near and join yourself to this chariot.”
8:30	And Philip, hurrying, heard him reading from the prophet Isaiah, и той каза, “Do you think that you understand what you are reading?”
8:31	И той каза, “But how can I, unless someone will have revealed it to me?” And he asked Philip to climb up and sit with him.
8:32	Now the place in Scripture that he was reading was this: “Like a sheep he was led to the slaughter. And like a lamb silent before his shearer, so he opened not his mouth.
8:33	He endured his judgment with humility. Who of his generation shall describe how his life was taken away from the earth?”
8:34	Then the eunuch responded to Philip, казвайки: “I beg you, about whom is the prophet saying this? About himself, or about someone else?”
8:35	Then Philip, opening his mouth and beginning from this Scripture, evangelized Jesus to him.
8:36	And while they were going along the way, they arrived at a certain water source. And the eunuch said: “There is water. What would prevent me from being baptized?”
8:37	Then Philip said, “If you believe from your whole heart, it is permitted.” And he responded by saying, “I believe the Son of God to be Jesus the Christ.”
8:38	And he ordered the chariot to stand still. And both Philip and the eunuch descended into the water. And he baptized him.
8:39	And when they had ascended from the water, the Spirit of the Lord took Philip away, and the eunuch did not see him anymore. Then he went on his way, ликувайки.
8:40	Now Philip was found in Azotus. And continuing on, he evangelized all the cities, until he arrived in Caesarea.

Евангелие

The Holy Gospel According John 6: 44-51

6:44	No one is able to come to me, unless the Father, who has sent me, has drawn him. And I will raise him up on the last day.
6:45	It has been written in the Prophets: ‘And they shall all be taught by God.’ Everyone who has listened and learned from the Father comes to me.
6:46	Not that anyone has seen the Father, except he who is from God; this one has seen the Father.
6:47	амин, амин, казвам ти, whoever believes in me has eternal life.
6:48	I am the bread of life.
6:49	Your fathers ate manna in the desert, and they died.
6:50	This is the bread which descends from heaven, so that if anyone will eat from it, he may not die.
6:51	I am the living bread, who descended from heaven.
