Philip and the Ethiopian
Now an angel of the Lord said to Philip, “Go south to the road—the desert road—that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza.”
-
The Spirit told Philip, “Go to that chariot and stay near it.”
-
Then Philip ran up to the chariot and heard the man reading Isaiah the prophet. “Do you understand what you are reading?” Philip asked.
-
“How can I,” he said, “unless someone explains it to me?” So he invited Philip to come up and sit with him.
-
The eunuch asked Philip, “Tell me, please, who is the prophet talking about, himself or someone else?”
-
Then Philip began with that very passage of Scripture and told him the good news about Jesus.
-
And he gave orders to stop the chariot. Then both Philip and the eunuch went down into the water and Philip baptized him.

Lydia’s Conversion in Philippi
From Troas we put out to sea and sailed straight for Samothrace, and the next day we went on to Neapolis.

From there we traveled to Philippi, a Roman colony and the leading city of that district of Macedonia. And we stayed there several days.

But we sailed from Philippi after the Festival of Unleavened Bread, and five days later joined the others at Troas, where we stayed seven days.
-
Leaving the next day, we reached Caesarea and stayed at the house of Philip the evangelist, one of the Seven.

Paul and Timothy, servants of Christ Jesus, To all God’s holy people in Christ Jesus at Philippi, together with the overseers and deacons:
-
Moreover, as you Philippians know, in the early days of your acquaintance with the gospel, when I set out from Macedonia, not one church shared with me in the matter of giving and receiving, except you only;
-
We had previously suffered and been treated outrageously in Philippi, as you know, but with the help of our God we dared to tell you his gospel in the face of strong opposition.
