¹⁰ He said to them, “Behold, when you have entered the city, a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him into the house that he enters

Philip and the Ethiopian Eunuch

²⁶ Now ^(A)an angel of the Lord said to Philip, “Rise and go toward the south^[a] to the road that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza.” This is a desert place. ²⁷ And he rose and went. And there was an ^(B)Ethiopian, a ^(C)eunuch, a court official of Candace, queen of the Ethiopians, ^(D)who was in charge of all her treasure. ^(E)He had come to Jerusalem to worship ²⁸ and was returning, seated in his chariot, and he was reading the prophet Isaiah. ²⁹ And the Spirit said to Philip, “Go over and join this chariot.”

⁴ But ^(A)I have said these things to you, that when ^(B)their hour comes you may remember that I told them to you.

¹⁸ He said, “Go into the city to a certain man and say to him, ^(A)‘The Teacher says, ^(B)My time is at hand. I will keep the Passover at your house with my disciples.’” ¹⁹ And the disciples did as Jesus had directed them, and they prepared the Passover.

² When you depart from me today, you will meet two men by ^(A)Rachel's tomb in the territory of Benjamin at Zelzah, and they will say to you, ^(B)‘The donkeys that you went to seek are found, and now ^(C)your father has ceased to care about the donkeys and is anxious about you, saying, “What shall I do about my son?”’ ³ Then you shall go on from there farther and come to the ^(D)oak of Tabor. Three men ^(E)going up ^(F)to God at Bethel will meet you there, one carrying three young goats, another carrying three loaves of bread, and another carrying a skin of wine. ⁴ And they will greet you and give you two loaves of bread, which you shall accept from their hand. ⁵ After that you shall come to ^(G)Gibeath-elohim,^{[a] (H)}where there is a garrison of the Philistines. And there, as soon as you come to the city, you will meet a group of prophets coming down ^(I)from the high place with harp, tambourine, flute, and lyre before them, prophesying. ^6 (J)Then the Spirit of the Lord will rush upon you, ^(K)and you will prophesy with them and be turned into another man. ⁷ Now when ^(L)these signs meet you, do what your hand finds to do, ^(M)for God is with you.

^29 (A)When he drew near to Bethphage and ^(B)Bethany, at ^(C)the mount that is called Olivet, he sent ^(D)two of the disciples, ³⁰ saying, “Go into the village in front of you, where on entering you will find a colt tied, ^(E)on which no one has ever yet sat. Untie it and bring it here. ³¹ If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you untying it?’ you shall say this: ‘The Lord has need of it.’” ³² So those who were sent went away and found it ^(F)just as he had told them. ³³ And as they were untying the colt, its owners said to them, “Why are you untying the colt?” ³⁴ And they said, “The Lord has need of it.” ³⁵ And they brought it to Jesus, and throwing their cloaks on the colt, they set Jesus on it. ³⁶ And as he rode along, they ^(G)spread their cloaks on the road. ³⁷ As he was drawing near—already on the way down the Mount of Olives—^(H)the whole multitude of his disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice ^(I)for all the mighty works that they had seen, ³⁸ saying, ^(J)“Blessed is ^(K)the King who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven and ^(L)glory in the highest!” ^39 (M)And some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to him, “Teacher, rebuke your disciples.” ⁴⁰ He answered, “I tell you, if these were silent, ^(N)the very stones would cry out.”
