For His life was removed from the earth.”Acts 8:34“Tell me,” said the eunuch, “who is the prophet talking about, himself or someone else?”Acts 8:35Then Philip began with this very Scripture and told him the good news about Jesus.Acts 8:36As they traveled along the road and came to some water, the eunuch said, “Look, here is water! What is there to prevent me from being baptized?”Acts 8:37Acts 8:38And he gave orders to stop the chariot. Then both Philip and the eunuch went down into the water, and Philip baptized him.Acts 8:39When they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord carried Philip away, and the eunuch saw him no more, but went on his way rejoicing.
