Hvilken bog af profeti var den etiopiske eunuk læsning fra?
Esajas' Bog
Ethiopian eunuch
Evangelisten Filip fik besked fra en engel om at gå til vejen fra Jerusalem til Gaza, og der mødte han den etiopiske eunuk. Han havde været i Jerusalem for at tilbede (ApG 8:27) og var på vej hjem igen. Eunukken sad i sin vogn og læste i Esajas' Bog og var nået til Esajas 53:7-8. Filip spurgte etiopieren: "Forstår du, hvad du læser?" Han sagde, at det gjorde han ikke ("Hvordan kan jeg forstå det, hvis jeg ikke har en lærer til at undervise mig?"), og bad Filip om at forklare ham teksten. Filip fortalte ham evangeliet om Jesus, og etiopieren bad om at blive døbt. De gik ned i noget vand, og Filip døbte ham.
Isaiah
Philip the Evangelist was told by an angel to go to the road from Jerusalem to Gaza, and there he met the Ethiopian eunuch. He had been to Jerusalem to worship (Acts 8:27), and was returning home. The eunuch was sitting in his chariot reading the Book of Isaiah, and had come to Isaiah 53:7-8. Philip asked the Ethiopian, "Do you understand what you are reading?" He said he did not ("How can I understand unless I have a teacher to teach me?"), and asked Philip to explain the text to him. Philip told him the Gospel of Jesus, and the Ethiopian asked to be baptized. They went down into some water and Philip baptized him.
