Cyprian Treatise 12 book 3 paragraph 43: In the Acts of the Apostles: Lo, here is water; what is
there which hinders me from being baptized? Then said Philip, If you believe with all your heart,
you may.
Life and passion of Cyprian paragraph 3: For although in the Acts of the Apostles the eunuch is
described as at once baptized by Philip, because he believed with his whole heart, this is not a
fair parallel.
Irenaeus Against Heresies book 3 chapter 9 paragraph 8: Philip declared that this was Jesus,
and that the Scripture was fulfilled in Him; as did also the believing eunuch himself: and,
immediately requesting to be baptized, he said, I believe Jesus Christ to be the Son of God.
Pamphilus: That the Lord helps the good AND THE BELIEVING on the way to salvation, as is
shown from the instance of the eunuch.
Augustine Sermon on Selected Lessons of the Gospels 49 section 11: The eunuch believed on
Christ, and said when they came unto a certain water, See water, who does hinder me to be
baptized? Philip said to him, Do you believe in Jesus Christ? He answered, I believe that Jesus
Christ is the Son of God. Immediately he went down with him into the water.
Treatise on Rebaptism: Just as the Ethiopian eunuch, when he was returning from Jerusalem
and reading the prophet Isaiah, and was in doubt, having at the Spirit's suggestion heard the
truth from Philip the deacon, BELIEVED AND WAS BAPTIZED; and when he had gone up out
of the water, the Spirit of the Lord took away Philip, and the eunuch saw him no more.
