Philip and the Ethiopian official
On the desert road to Gaza, Philip heard the Ethiopian treasurer reading Isaiah 53 and, beginning with that Scripture, told him the good news about Jesus; the man was baptized and went on his way rejoicing (Acts 8:32-39).
📖 Acts 8:26–28
26Now an angel of the Lord said to Philip, “Get up and go south to the desert road that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza.” 27So he started out, and on his way he met an Ethiopian eunuch, a court official in charge of the entire treasury of Candace, queen of the Ethiopians. He had gone to Jerusalem to worship, 28and on his return was sitting in his chariot reading Isaiah the prophet.
