According to the Book of Acts, Philip baptised the Ethiopian official.
Acts 8 describes Philip meeting an Ethiopian court official travelling home from Jerusalem. The official was reading the Book of Isaiah in a chariot, and Philip explained how the passage related to Jesus. When they reached water, the official asked to be baptised, and Philip performed the baptism.
This Philip is generally distinguished from Philip the apostle. Acts presents him as one of the seven men chosen to help oversee the Jerusalem community’s food distribution. Later, he is called an evangelist and is associated with Caesarea.
The Ethiopian official is described as a eunuch serving Candace, queen of the Ethiopians. The episode is important in Acts because it portrays the Christian message reaching a high-ranking non-Jewish traveller before the later missionary expansion into many regions.
