34 L’eunuque dit à Philippe: Je te prie, de qui le prophète parle-t-il ainsi? Est-ce de lui-même, ou de quelque autre?

35 Alors Philippe, ouvrant la bouche et commençant par ce passage, lui annonça la bonne nouvelle de Jésus.

36 Comme ils continuaient leur chemin, ils rencontrèrent de l’eau. Et l’eunuque dit: Voici de l’eau; qu’est-ce qui empêche que je sois baptisé?

37 Philippe dit: Si tu crois de tout ton cœur, cela est possible. L’eunuque répondit: Je crois que Jésus-Christ est le Fils de Dieu.
