1Philip and the Ethiopian official
An angel sent Philip south to the road that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza. There he met an Ethiopian eunuch, treasurer of Queen Candace, returning from worship in Jerusalem and reading Isaiah in his chariot. Philip preached to him about Jesus from that Scripture, and when they came to some water, he baptized him.
