36 Ὡς δὲ ἐπορεύοντο κατὰ τὴν ὁδὸν ἦλθον ἐπί τι ὕδωρ, καί φησιν ὁ εὐνοῦχος· «Ἰδού, ὕδωρ· τί κωλύει με βαπτισθῆναι;»*35 𝕻45ℵA,B,C (88%) HF,RP,CP,NU ¦ βαπτισθηναι 37 ειπεν δε αυτω ει πιστευεις εξ ολης της καρδιας σου εξεστιν αποκριθεις δε ειπεν πιστευω τον υιον του θεου ειναι ιησουν χριστον (8.4%) ¦ βαπτισθηναι 37 ειπεν δε ο φιλιππος ει πιστευεις εξ ολης της καρδιας εξεστιν αποκριθεις δε ειπεν πιστευω τον υιον του θεου ειναι τον ιησουν χριστον (0.6%) OC,TR [actually, only cursive 1883 of the 16th century is identical to OC,TR—OC is in small print] ¦ four variations include ευνουχος and a 2nd αυτω before πιστευω (1.1%) ¦ four further variations (1.9%) (The addition appears in eighteen slightly different forms [the name ‘Philip’ appears in eleven MSS, or 2.3%]. Since Philip’s house in Caesarea seems to have been something of a way-station for travelling Christians, he probably repeated the story hundreds of times; the information given in verse 37 is likely historically correct, but the Holy Spirit didn’t have Luke include it in the inspired account.) 38 Καὶ ἐκέλευσεν στῆναι τὸ ἅρμα, καὶ κατέβησαν ἀμφότεροι εἰς τὸ ὕδωρ, ὅ τε Φίλιππος καὶ ὁ εὐνοῦχος, καὶ ἐβάπτισεν αὐτόν. 39 Ὅτε δὲ ἀνέβησαν ἐκ τοῦ ὕδατος, Πνεῦμα Κυρίου ἥρπασεν τὸν Φίλιππον, καὶ οὐκ εἶδεν αὐτὸν οὐκέτι ὁ εὐνοῦχος· ἐπορεύετο γὰρ τὴν ὁδὸν αὐτοῦ χαίρων.
