                            And Philip ran thither to him, and heard him read the prophet Esaias, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest? | 
                        
                        
                            | 8:31 | 
                            And hee said, How can I, except some man should guide me? And he desired Philip, that hee would come vp, and sit with him. | 
                            
                              | 
                            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. | 
                        
                        
                            | 8:32 | 
                            The place of the Scripture, which hee read, was this, Hee was led as a sheepe to the slaughter, & like a Lambe dumbe before the shearer, so opened he not his mouth: | 
                            
                              | 
                            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: | 
                        
                        
                            | 8:33 | 
                            In his humiliation, his Iudgement was taken away: and who shall declare his generation? For his life is taken from the earth. | 
                            
                              | 
                            In his humiliation his judgment was taken away: and who shall declare his generation? for his life is taken from the earth. | 
                        
                        
                            | 8:34 | 
                            And the Eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray thee, of whom speaketh the Prophet this? of himselfe, or of some other man? | 
                            
                              | 
                            And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray thee, of whom speaketh the prophet this? of himself, or of some other man? | 
                        
                        
                            | 8:35 | 
                            Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same Scripture, and preached vnto him Iesus. | 
                            
                              | 
                            Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus. | 
                        
                        
                            | 8:36 | 
                            And as they went on their way, they came vnto a certaine water: and the Eunuch said, See, here is water, what doeth hinder me to be baptized? | 
                            
                              | 
                            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? | 
                        
                        
                            | 8:37 | 
                            And Philip said, If thou beleeuest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered, and said, I beleeue that Iesus Christ is the Sonne of God. | 
                            
                              | 
                            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. | 
                        
                        
                            | 8:38 | 
                            And he commanded the charet to stand still: and they went downe both into the water, both Philip, and the Eunuch, and he baptized him. | 
                            
                              | 
                            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. | 
                        
                        
                            | 8:39 | 
                            And when they were come vp out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the Eunuch saw him no more: and hee went on his way reioycing. | 
                            
                              | 
                            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. | 
                        
                        
                            | 8:40 | 
                            But Philip was found at Azotus: and passing thorow he preached in all the cities, till he came to Cesarea. | 
                            
                              |
