Acts 8:28

but was now on his way home, sitting in his chariot and reading the prophet Isaiah.
[A eunuch was a man who had been castrated, either voluntarily or by force. It was not unusual for eunuchs to hold high positions because they were loyal and reliable. However, there were restrictions withIn Jewish tradition. A eunuch was only allowed access to the outer temple area, see Deut. 23:1. This high-ranking Ethiopian was a pagan who believed in the God of Israel. This was probably his only pilgrimage to Jerusalem. It is probably no coincidence that he is reading the prophet Isaiah as the carriage slowly rolls along. Here are the strongest promises to eunuchs in particular. When the Messiah establishes his kingdom, they will have access to pray to God and receive a name that is better than sons and daughters, see Isa. 56:3–8. What he did not know was that soon his eyes would be opened to these Scriptures through faith in Jesus!]
