Acts 8:35-39

35 Philip grabbed his chance. Using this passage as his text, he preached Jesus to him.
36 As they continued down the road, they came to a stream of water. The eunuch said, "Here's water. Why can't I be baptized?"
38 He ordered the chariot to stop. They both went down to the water, and Philip baptized him on the spot.
39 When they came up out of the water, the Spirit of God suddenly took Philip off, and that was the last the eunuch saw of him. But he didn't mind. He had what he'd come for and went on down the road as happy as he could be.
