Bede, on Acts 8:36

Bede · A.D. 673–735
Acts 8:36 · Douay-Rheims
“And as they went on their way, they came to a certain water; and the eunuch said: See, here is water: what doth hinder me from being baptized?”
On this verse:
“Who prohibits me from being baptized? And he commanded the chariot to stop, and the rest. Here another translation according to the Greek exemplar has a few more verses where it is written: Behold water, who prohibits me from being baptized? But Philip said to him: If you believe with all your heart, you will be saved. And responding, he said: I believe in Christ, the Son of God. And he commanded the chariot to stop, and the rest. I believe, therefore, that our own interpreter initially translated these verses as well, but they were later omitted due to the fault of the scribes.”
