“Then the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself to this chariot.”
The Spirit told Philip, 'Go to that chariot and stay near it' - the 'Spirit' (pneuma, here the Holy Spirit) directs Philip's approach: 'Go to that chariot and stay near it' (proselethe kai kolebōu tō harmaxē tautē). Divine guidance is specific and immediate. Philip is the missionary, but the Spirit is the guide; the missionary operation depends on spiritual direction.
