    • Philip the evangelizer explaining the Scriptures to the Ethiopian man.

      The Ethiopian official was determined to continue taking in knowledge about Jehovah (See paragraph 4)

      4. How did the Ethiopian show that he was determined to keep learning?

      4 The Ethiopian man “had gone to Jerusalem to worship.” (Acts 8:27) He must therefore have been a Jewish proselyte; he had converted to Judaism. No doubt he had learned about Jehovah from the sacred writings of the Hebrew Scriptures.

    • 5. What did the Ethiopian do about what he learned?

      5 The man was a high official under Queen Candace of Ethiopia; he “was in charge of all her treasure.” (Acts 8:27) So he must have been a busy man with many responsibilities. Yet, he took time to worship Jehovah. He was not content with learning the truth; he acted on what he learned. He therefore traveled all the way from Ethiopia in order to worship Jehovah at the temple in Jerusalem. That journey must have involved a great deal of time and expense, but the man spared no effort where Jehovah’s worship was concerned.
