Acts 8:32-40 ▼

32 The eunuch was reading this passage of Scripture: “He was led like a sheep to the slaughter, and as a lamb before the shearer is silent, so He did not open His mouth.

33 In His humiliation He was deprived of justice. Who can recount His descendants? For His life was removed from the earth .”

34 “Tell me, said the eunuch, “who is the prophet talking about, himself or someone else?

35 Then Philip (friend of horses) began with this very Scripture and told him the good news about Jesus (YHWH saves).

36 As they traveled along the road and came to some water, the eunuch said, “Look (Behold), here is water! What is there to prevent me from being baptized?” [37 And Philip said, “If you believe with all your heart, you may be baptized.” The eunuch replied, “I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.”]

38 And he gave orders to stop the chariot. Then both Philip (friend of horses) and the eunuch went down into the water, and Philip baptized (submerged) him.

39 When they came up out of the water, the Spirit {Pneuma} of the Lord {Kyriou} carried Philip away, and the eunuch saw him no more, but went on his way rejoicing.

40 But Philip (friend of horses) appeared at Azotus and traveled through that region, preaching the gospel in all the towns until he came to Caesarea.
