What did the Ethiopian Eunich learn from Phillip?
At Acts 8:26-36, God's holy spirit told Phillip to run alongside the Ethiopian Eunuch's chariot. [The Eunuch was a person of power in Queen Candace's court and was a Jewish proselyte, (he was a non-Jewish worshiper of Jehovah God). He'd gone to Jerusalem to worship at the temple and was returning home.] Philip ran alongside and heard him reading aloud Isaiah the prophet, and he said: "Do you actually know what you are reading?" The Eunuch said: "Really, how could I ever do so, unless someone guided me?"And he entreated Philip to get on and sit down with him". In answer the eunuch said to Philip: "I beg you, about whom does the prophet say this? About himself or about some other man?" Philip opened his mouth and, starting with this Scripture, he declared to him the good news about Jesus". (Isaiah prophesied 'Christ would remain silent before those who would put him to death and that he would die a painful death''. Isaiah 53:3-8). This Ethiopian Eunuch only knew the Old Testament. He needed to be taught how Christ Jesus fulfilled the prophecies of the 'Messiah' and had given his life for mankind. The New Testament hadn't even been written down yet, so all of Jesus Christ's disciples had been taught to preach door-to-doorand house to house, (Matthew 24:14, Matthew 28:19&20 and Acts 20:20), or 'road to road'as Phillip did then and as all faithful Christians do today. Everyone on Earth must have the chance to hear the good news about God's Kingdom, with Christ as our King, and to gain everlasting life!!
Why does the bible state that Jesus had a marred face?
Isaiah, in chapters 52-53 wrote about the suffering and death of Jehovah's servant to redeem mankind and the glory that will follow. In Isaiah 52:14,15 he wrote: "Like as many were astonished at thee (his visage was so marred more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men), so shall he sprinkle many nations; kings shall shut their mouths at him: for that which had not been told them shall they see; and that which they had not heard shall they understand." Christians believe this suffering servant to be Jesus, the account of the Ethiopian eunuch's conversion in Acts 8:26-40 also confirms this view. Many non-Christians claim this suffering servant to be Israel, which cannot be, simply because in Isaiah 53:8 Israel and the suffering servant are in the same sentence "for the transgression of my people was he stricken"
What did Isaiah say he heard in Isaiah 6 verse 8 and how did he reply?

When did Christianity reach Africa?
Philip and the Ethiopian 26Now an angel of the Lord said to Philip, "Go south to the road-the desert road-that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza." 27So he started out, and on his way he met an Ethiopian[d]eunuch, an important official in charge of all the treasury of Candace, queen of the Ethiopians. This man had gone to Jerusalem to worship, 28and on his way home was sitting in his chariot reading the book of Isaiah the prophet. 29The Spirit told Philip, "Go to that chariot and stay near it." 30Then Philip ran up to the chariot and heard the man reading Isaiah the prophet. "Do you understand what you are reading?" Philip asked. 31"How can I," he said, "unless someone explains it to me?" So he invited Philip to come up and sit with him. 32The eunuch was reading this passage of Scripture:"He was led like a sheep to the slaughter,and as a lamb before the shearer is silent,so he did not open his mouth.33In his humiliation he was deprived of justice.Who can speak of his descendants?For his life was taken from the earth."[e] 34The eunuch asked Philip, "Tell me, please, who is the prophet talking about, himself or someone else?" 35Then Philip began with that very passage of Scripture and told him the good news about Jesus. 36As they traveled along the road, they came to some water and the eunuch said, "Look, here is water. Why shouldn't I be baptized?"[f] 38And he gave orders to stop the chariot. Then both Philip and the eunuch went down into the water and Philip baptized him. 39When they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord suddenly took Philip away, and the eunuch did not see him again, but went on his way rejoicing. 40Philip, however, appeared at Azotus and traveled about, preaching the gospel in all the towns until he reached Caesarea.

Which book of prophecy was the Ethiopian eunuch reading from?
Answer:Acts:8:30-3530: And Philip ran thither to him, and heard him read the prophet Esaias, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest?31: And he said, How can I, except some man should guide me? And he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him.32: The place of the scripture which he read was this, He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and like a lamb dumb before his shearer, so opened he not his mouth:33: In his humiliation his judgment was taken away: and who shall declare his generation? for his life is taken from the earth.34: And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray thee, of whom speaketh the prophet this? of himself, or of some other man?35: Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus.Esaias is the Greek way of saying Isaiah.For proof of this,read the following:Isaiah:53:7: He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.
