The
eunuch asked Philip, “Tell me, please, who is the prophet talking about,
himself or someone else?” Then Philip began with that very passage of
Scripture and told him the good news about Jesus.
As they traveled along the road, they
came to some water and the eunuch said, “Look, here is water. What can stand in
the way of my being baptized?” And
he gave orders to stop the chariot. Then both Philip and the eunuch went down
into the water and Philip baptized him. When
they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord suddenly took Philip
away, and the eunuch did not see him again, but went on his way
rejoicing. Philip, however, appeared at Azotus
and traveled about, preaching the gospel in all the towns until he reached
Caesarea.
