Acts 8:35-38
Then Philip opened his mouth, and beginning from this Scripture he preached Jesus to him. As they went along the road they came to
some water; and the eunuch said, “Look! Water! What prevents me from being baptized?” And Philip said, “If you believe with all your
heart, you may.” And he answered and said, “I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.” And he ordered the chariot to stop; and they
both went down into the water, Philip as well as the eunuch, and he baptized him.
