What does Philip in the Bible do?
He baptizes the Ethiopian eunuch.
Which of the apostles disappeared after baptizing a man and where was he found later?
The man you're thinking of is Philip. (The New Testament never actually calls him an apostle, but his works fit the definition of the word.)Acts 8:38-40 - So he commanded the chariot to stand still. And both Philip and the eunuch went down into the water, and he baptized him. Now when they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught Philip away, so that the eunuch saw him no more; and he went on his way rejoicing. But Philip was found at Azotus. And passing through, he preached in all the cities till he came to Caesarea. [NKJV]
Was Potiphar a eunuch?
Well, yes and no....the Hebrew word for eunuch was 'saris'. It meant a 'court official', and THIS, Potiphar certainly was. However, often, the word eunuch referred to a 'court official' who had been castrated, usually because his job entailed caring for the women in a king's harem. In Potiphar's case, he was the chief of the body guard, nothing to do with the harems, and he was not a eunuch in that physical sense. For one thing, he was a married man. Genesis 39:1-9. (Another reference to a 'court official'(eunuch/'saris') who was NOT castrated was the Ethiopian Eunuch at Acts 8:27-39. He had been a Jewish proselyte, worshiping at the Temple in Jerusalem, and could therefore NOT have been castrated(Deuteronomy 23:1). He was just a court official (a man in power)under the rulership of Candace the Queen.
Who was the Ethiopian Eunich?
In the book of Acts chapter 8 starting in verse 26 you can read of where an angel of the Lord spoke to Philip telling him where to go to. The place he was told was also a desert place, as in no people, not a place like sand and no water. As he was there a man from Ethiopia was there on his way back to his home place when the Spirit said to Philip "Go near and overtake his chariot." As the story goes Philip taught the man from Ethiopia the truth about the Lord and baptized him. The eunuch himself was a man of great authority under Candace the queen of the Ethiopians. With all things considered the man was also a very wealthy man of great honor.
