Philip Explains Isaiah to the Ethiopian Eunuch

Philip stands beside a royal chariot as an Ethiopian court official reads from an open scroll, the moment from Acts when the evangelist is led by the Spirit to explain the prophecy of Isaiah. The official, richly dressed and attended by servants and horses, listens from his traveling carriage while Philip points him toward the suffering Servant fulfilled in Jesus Christ. The scene highlights Scripture interpretation, evangelism, and the widening reach of the gospel beyond Jerusalem. In Acts 8, the Ethiopian eunuch is reading Isaiah 53 and asks, “About whom does the prophet say this?” Philip begins with that passage and preaches Jesus, leading to the official’s baptism and joyful faith. This artwork is well suited for teaching on missions, conversion, biblical prophecy, discipleship, and the authority of Scripture.
