Acts 8:27‑40• 27And he rose up and went. And lo, an Ethiopian, a eunuch, a man in power under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who was over all her treasure, who had come to worship at Jerusalem,
 28was returning and sitting in his chariot: and he was reading the prophet Esaias.
 29And the Spirit said to Philip, Approach and join this chariot.
 30And Philip, running up, heard him reading the prophet Esaias, and said, Dost thou then know what thou art reading of?
 31And he said, How should I then be able unless some one guide me? And he begged Philip to come up and sit with him.
 32And the passage of the scripture which he read was this: He was led as a sheep to slaughter, and as a lamb is dumb in presence of him that shears him, thus he opens not his mouth.
 33In his humiliation his judgment has been taken away, and who shall declare his generation? for his life is taken from the earth.
 34And the eunuch answering Philip said, I pray thee, concerning whom does the prophet say this? of himself or of some other?
 35And Philip, opening his mouth and beginning from that scripture, announced the glad tidings of Jesus to him.
 36And as they went along the way, they came upon a certain water, and the eunuch says, Behold water; what hinders my being baptised?
 37(Verse 37 is omitted in this translation.)
 38And he commanded the chariot to stop. And they went down both to the water, both Philip and the eunuch, and he baptised him.

 40And Philip was found at Azotus, and passing through he announced the glad tidings to all the cities till he came to Caesarea. (Acts 8:27‑40)
• There are also resources for the stranger (1 Kings 8:41-43); he would come from afar, hearing tell of the great name and of the power of the Lord, and would address his request to Him, facing toward this house. God would hear him in heaven and answer him, for the king wishes that all the peoples of the earth, as well as his people Israel, might know the name of the Lord and fear Him. Here there is no judgment, no conditional blessing at all. The stranger, outside the circle of the law, approaches God by faith and receives a full blessing. It is in short a beautiful picture of the millennial blessing of the nations. (“The Dedication of the Temple: 1 Kings 8” by H.L. Rossier)
