Then the official said to Philip, "Look, there is a pond of water! ◄I would like you to baptize me, because I do not know of anything that would prevent me from being baptized {prevent you from baptizing me.}/Do you know of anything that would prevent me from being baptized {prevent you from baptizing me}?► [RHQ]" 38 So the official told the driver to stop the chariot. Then both Philip and the official went down into the pond of water, and Philip baptized him.
