38 So he ordered the chariot to stop, and both Philip and the eunuch went down into the water,[a] and Philip baptized[b] him. 39 Now when they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord snatched Philip away, and the eunuch did not see him any more, but[c] went on his way rejoicing.[d] 40 Philip, however, found himself[e] at Azotus,[f] and as he passed through the area,[g] he proclaimed the good news[h] to all the towns[i] until he came to Caesarea.[j]
