³⁶And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth ⁱhinder me to be baptized? ³⁷And Philip said, ^jIf thou believest with all thine heart, ^kthou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that ^lJesus Christ is ^mthe Son of God. ³⁸And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him. ³⁹And when they were come up out of the water, ⁿthe Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on his way ^orejoicing.
