15 who, when they had come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Spirit;

20 But Peter said to him, “May your silver perish with you, because you thought you could obtain the gift of God with money!
Peter however said to him; The silver of you with you would [that] it be to destruction, because the gift of God you thought through money to be obtained!
21 You have neither part nor lot in this matter, for your heart isn’t right before God.

35 Philip opened his mouth, and beginning from this Scripture, preached to him about Jesus.
Having opened then Philip the mouth of him and having begun from Scripture this he evangelised to him [about] Jesus.
36 As they went on the way, they came to some water; and the eunuch said, “Behold, here is water. What is keeping me from being baptized?”
As then they were going along the road, they came upon some water and says the eunuch; Behold water; what prevents me to be baptized?

38 He commanded the chariot to stand still, and they both went down into the water, both Philip and the eunuch, and he baptized him.

39 When they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught Philip away, and the eunuch didn’t see him any more, for he went on his way rejoicing.
When now they came up out of the water, [the] Spirit of [the] Lord carried away Philip, and not saw him no longer no longer the eunuch; he was going for the way of him rejoicing.
