๐ฟChrist Is Preached to an Ethiopianโ๏ธ
Acts 8:26 ...Now an angel of the Lord spoke to Philip, saying, โArise and go toward the south along the road which goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza.โ This is [a]desert.
27. So he arose and went. And behold, a man of Ethiopia, a eu**ch of great authority under Candace the queen of the Ethiopians, who had charge of all her treasury, and had come to Jerusalem to worship, 28. was returning. And sitting in his chariot, he was reading Isaiah the prophet. 29. Then the Spirit said to Philip, โGo near and overtake this chariot.โ
30. So Philip ran to him, and heard him reading the prophet Isaiah, and said, โDo you understand what you are reading?โ
31. And he said, โHow can I, unless someone guides me?โ And he asked Philip to come up and sit with him.
32. The place in the Scripture which he read was this:โHe was led as a sheep to the slaughter;And as a lamb before its shearer is silent,So He opened not His mouth.
33. In His humiliation His justice was taken away,
And who will declare His generation?
For His life is taken from the earth.โ isaiah 53:7
34. So the eu**ch answered Philip and said, โI ask you, of whom does the prophet say this, of himself or of some other man?โ
35. Then Philip opened his mouth, and beginning at this Scripture, preached Jesus to him.
36. Now as they went down the road, they came to some water. And the eu**ch said, โSee, here is water. What hinders me from being baptized?โ
37. [b]Then Philip said, โIf you believe with all your heart, you may.โ
And he answered and said, โI believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.โ
38. So he commanded the chariot to stand still. And both Philip and the eu**ch went down into the water, and he baptized him.
39. Now when they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught Philip away, so that the eu**ch saw him no more; and he went on his way rejoicing
