Philip and the Ethiopian Eunuch
Philip and the Ethiopian Eunuch
26 Now an angel of the Lord said to Philip, “Rise and go toward the south[a] to the road that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza.” This is a desert place. 27 And he rose and went. And there was an Ethiopian, a eunuch, a court official of Candace, queen of the Ethiopians, who was in charge of all her treasure. He had come to Jerusalem to worship 28 and was returning, seated in his chariot, and he was reading the prophet Isaiah. 29 And the Spirit said to Philip, “Go over and join this chariot.” 30 So Philip ran to him and heard him reading Isaiah the prophet and asked, “Do you understand what you are reading?” 31 And he said, “How can I, unless someone guides me?” And he invited Philip to come up and sit with him. 32 Now the passage of the Scripture that he was reading was this:

“Like a sheep he was led to the slaughter
“Like a sheep he was led to the slaughter
and like a lamb before its shearer is silent,
and like a lamb before its shearer is silent,
so he opens not his mouth.
so he opens not his mouth.
33 In his humiliation justice was denied him.

Who can describe his generation?
Who can describe his generation?
For his life is taken away from the earth.”
For his life is taken away from the earth.”
34 And the eunuch said to Philip, “About whom, I ask you, does the prophet say this, about himself or about someone else?” 35 Then Philip opened his mouth, and beginning with this Scripture he told him the good news about Jesus. 36 And as they were going along the road they came to some water, and the eunuch said, “See, here is water! What prevents me from being baptized?”[b] 38 And he commanded the chariot to stop, and they both went down into the water, Philip and the eunuch, and he baptized him. 39 And when they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord carried Philip away, and the eunuch saw him no more, and went on his way rejoicing. 40 But Philip found himself at Azotus, and as he passed through he preached the gospel to all the towns until he came to Caesarea.

Elijah expects rain (18:41–46). He tells Ahab to have his evening meal, and the king obeys. Elijah waits for the clouds to come off the Mediterranean Sea, the source of rain for the land of Canaan. At the sight of the first cloud, he sends word to Ahab to return to his capital city. With the aid of the Spirit of the Lord, Elijah demonstrates superhuman physical strength, running ahead of Ahab’s horses. The victory achieved is of the Lord. The courage, conviction, and authority that Elijah demonstrates are clear evidence to all that the Lord has directed and equipped him. The sovereign Lord of heaven and earth, of fire and rain, reveals his wrath against the adherents of the false god Baal.

Elijah flees to Mount Horeb because he is afraid for his life (19:1–18). Jezebel swears an oath that she will kill him just as he had destroyed her Baal prophets. Ahab, who informs her of Elijah’s victory, does nothing to oppose or repress his godless wife. The victory of the Lord has not influenced
