1 | Ethiopian eunuch proclaimed the Gospel | Acts 8:38 | Makarios | 196308 | ||
Acts 8:38 "And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him." (KJV) I was reading "Eusebius: The Church History" and found an interesting paragraph in regards to this verse: "While the saving message spread day by day, some providence brought from Ethiopia an officer of the queen, for that nation is still traditionally ruled by a woman. He was the first Gentile to receive the divine Word from Philip by revelation and the first to return to his native land and preach the Gospel. Through him the prophecy was actually fulfilled that states, "Ethiopia shall stretch out its hands to God" (Psalm 68:31)."
