📚 Historical Context
In the book of Acts, which records the early spread of Christianity after Jesus' ascension, Philip the evangelist is directed by the Holy Spirit to approach an Ethiopian eunuch on a desert road. This eunuch was a high-ranking official in the court of the Ethiopian queen, who had traveled to Jerusalem to worship as a God-fearing Gentile and was now returning home while reading aloud from the prophet Isaiah. This encounter illustrates the early church's mission to reach beyond Jewish circles to include people from diverse backgrounds.
