Not illustrated. 1848 Excerpt: ... connexion, and only seven verses before, (Isaiah 52: 15, ) is the prophecy, on which I have already remarked, as having been signally fulfilled on the day of Pentecost; " So shall he sprinkle many nations." This, no doubt, Philip had explained to him. So far, therefore, as the mode is concerned, it was sprinkling, and not immersion, which was in the mind of the Eunuch, when he asked for baptism.

It was a desert, as we have seen, and the Eunuch was doubtless surprised and pleased to come upon any water in such a place. Indeed it was in this vicinity, in the valley of Gerar, in which the city of Gaza stood, that Abraham and Isaac were obliged to dig wells to get water for their flocks; and "the herdmen of Gerar did strive with Isaac's herdmen, saying, The water is ours." (Gen. 26: 20.) It was not far from this place that Philip baptized the Eunuch; and the water was probably one of those " springs in the desert," of which we read, (Gen. 26: 19.) Such a spring...
