Acts 8

  26 And the angel of the Lord spake unto Philip, saying, Arise, and go toward
the south unto the way that goeth down from Jerusalem unto Gaza, which is
desert.
  27 And he arose and went: and, behold, a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch of great
authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who had the charge of all her
treasure, and had come to Jerusalem for to worship,
  28 Was returning, and sitting in his chariot read Esaias the prophet.
  29 Then the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself to this
chariot.
  30 And Philip ran thither to him, and heard him read the prophet Esaias, and
said, Understandest thou what thou readest?
  31 And he said, How can I, except some man should guide me? And he desired
Philip that he would come up and sit with him.
  32 The place of the scripture which he read was this, He was led as a sheep
to the slaughter; and like a lamb dumb before his shearer, so opened he not his
mouth:
  33 In his humiliation his judgment was taken away: and who shall declare his
generation? for his life is taken from the earth.
  34 And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray thee, of whom speaketh
the prophet this? of himself, or of some other man?
  35 Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and
preached unto him Jesus.
  36 And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the
eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized?
  37 And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And
he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.
  38 And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into
the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him.
  39 And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught
away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on his way
rejoicing.

Luke 9

  12 And when the day began to wear away, then came the twelve, and said unto
him, Send the multitude away, that they may go into the towns and country round
about, and lodge, and get victuals: for we are here in a desert place.
  13 But he said unto them, Give ye them to eat. And they said, We have no more
but five loaves and two fishes; except we should go and buy meat for all this
people.
  14 For they were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples, Make
them sit down by fifties in a company.
  15 And they did so, and made them all sit down.
  16 Then he took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven,
he blessed them, and brake, and gave to the disciples to set before the
multitude.
  17 And they did eat, and were all filled: and there was taken up of fragments
that remained to them twelve baskets.
  18 And it came to pass, as he was alone praying, his disciples were with him:
and he asked them, saying, Whom say the people that I am?
