35 Philip proceeded to tell him the good news about Jesus, beginning with that Scripture.a

36 As they were traveling down the road, they came to some water. The eunuch said, “Look, there’s water. What would keep me from being baptized?”* 38 So he ordered the chariot to stop, and both Philip and the eunuch went down into the water, and he baptized him. 39 When they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lordb carried Philip away, and the eunuch did not see him any longer but went on his way rejoicing.
