The Ethiopian mentioned in 8:26-40 was an official in the royal court of Ethiopia, located in what is now Sudan and Ethiopia. Philip found him reading the OT Scriptures, which means he was probably a "God-fearer," that is, a non-Jew who was seeking to know about the God of Israel. His journey to Jerusalem would have taken him three months—a true sign of his sincerity in seeking the Lord.
