"일어나 가서 보니 에디오피아 사람 곧 에디오피아 여왕 간다게의 모든 국고를 맡은 큰 권세가 있는 내시가 예배하러 예루살렘에 왔다가 돌아 가는데 병거를 타고 선지자 이사야의 글을 읽더라"(행8:27-28)

フィリポ はすぐ 出かけて 行った． 折から， エチオピア の 女王 カンダケ の 高官で， 女王の 全財産の 管理をしていた エチオピア 人の 宦官が， エルサレム に 禮拜に 來て， 歸る 途中であった． 彼は， 馬車に 乘って 預言者 イザヤ の 書を 朗讀していた．

So he started out, and on his way he met an Ethiopian eunuch, an important official in charge of all the treasury of Candace, queen of the Ethiopians. This man had gone to Jerusalem to worship, and on his way home was sitting in his chariot reading the book of Isaiah the prophet.
