^{30 Ref} And Philip, running up to him, saw that he was reading Isaiah the prophet, and said to him, Is the sense of what you are reading clear to you?

^{31 Ref} And he said, How is that possible when I have no guide? And he made Philip get up by his side.

^{35 Ref} So Philip, starting from this writing, gave him the good news about Jesus.
