The eunuch The term "eunuch" refers to a man who has been castrated, often employed in royal courts as a trusted official. In the context of Acts 8, this Ethiopian eunuch is a high-ranking official in charge of the treasury of the queen of the Ethiopians, Candace. Historically, eunuchs were often seen as trustworthy and loyal, given their inability to produce heirs and thus pose a threat to the throne.
