36 Now as they were going down the road they came upon some water, and the eunuch said: "Look, water! What is keeping me from being baptized?"*The AV and NKJV have verse 37: Then Philip said, "If you believe with all your heart, you may." And he answered and said, "I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God." It is the sort of thing that makes us think, "If Philip did not say that, he should have". And maybe he really did, but the question immediately before us is whether Luke wrote it. 88% of the Greek manuscripts, including the best line of transmission, do not have the verse—I imagine that the verse originated in the Latin tradition, during the second century. Philip doubtless recounted the event many times (his house in Caesarea received many visitors), and if the exchange recorded in verse 37 actually took place it would be part of the story that he told, and could easily have been added to the Text of Acts. (The addition appears in eighteen slightly different forms, which does not inspire confidence.) 38 So he ordered the chariot to stop, and they both went down into the water, both Philip and the eunuch, and he baptized him. 39 Now when they came up out of the water, Spirit of the Lord*Again there is no definite article with ‘Spirit’, nor with ‘Lord’—I would like to translate ‘Spirit of Jehovah’, but God’s personal name never occurs in the New Testament. snatched Philip away, and the eunuch did not see him any more, because he went on his way rejoicing.*He did not stop to look for Philip or attempt any further contact with him; Ethiopia was a long way away and he just kept on going. He doubtless understood that Philip’s ‘visit’ was a supernatural present, and let it go at that.
