BCC ²⁸ s'en retournait, assis sur son char, et lisait le prophète Isaïe.

KJV ²⁸ Was returning, and sitting in his chariot read Esaias the prophet.

BCC ²⁹ L'Esprit dit à Philippe : "Avance, et tiens-toi près de ce char."

KJV ²⁹ Then the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself to this chariot.

BCC ³⁰ Philippe accourut, l'entendit qui lisait le prophète Isaïe, et dit : " Comprends-tu bien ce que tu lis ?"

KJV ³⁰ And Philip ran thither to him, and heard him read the prophet Esaias, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest?

BCC ³¹ L'autre dit : "Et comment le pourrais-je, si quelqu'un ne me guide ? " Et il pria Philippe de monter et de s'asseoir avec lui.

KJV 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.

BCC ³² Or le passage de l'Écriture qu'il lisait était celui-ci : Comme une brebis, il a été mené à la tuerie ; et comme un agneau muet devant celui qui le tond, ainsi il n'ouvre pas la bouche.

KJV 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:

BCC ³³ C'est dans son humiliation que son jugement a été enlevé. Sa génération, qui la racontera ? Car sa vie a été retranchée de la terre."

KJV ³³ In his humiliation his judgment was taken away: and who shall declare his generation? for his life is taken from the earth.

BCC ³⁴ L'eunuque reprit et dit à Philippe : "Je te prie, de qui le prophète dit-il cela ? Est-ce de lui-même ou de quelque autre ?"

KJV ³⁴ And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray thee, of whom speaketh the prophet this? of himself, or of some other man?

BCC ³⁵ Alors Philippe, ouvrant la bouche et commençant par ce passage de l'Écriture, lui annonça la bonne nouvelle de Jésus.

KJV ³⁵ Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus.

BCC ³⁶ Or, chemin faisant, ils rencontrèrent de l'eau, et l'eunuque dit : "Voici de l'eau ; qu'est-ce qui empêche que je sois baptisé ?"

KJV 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?

BCC ³⁸ Et il ordonna d'arrêter le char, et ils descendirent tous deux dans l'eau, Philippe et l'eunuque, et (Philippe) le baptisa.

KJV 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.

BCC ³⁹ Mais, quand ils furent remontés de l'eau, l'Esprit du Seigneur enleva Philippe, et l'eunuque ne le vit plus, car il poursuivait tout joyeux sa route.

KJV 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.

KJV 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.
