← Acts 8:36	Acts 8:37 (KJV)	Acts 8:38 →
And as they went on [their] way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, [here is] water; what doth hinder me to be baptized?	And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.	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.
