Acts 8:39 - When they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord suddenly took Philip away, and the eunuch did not see him again, but went on his way rejoicing.
I wonder if the eunuch actually saw Philip being taken away. Did he float off into the distance until he was too small to see? Did he dissolve or vanish on the spot? Or did the eunuch turn around and Philip simply wasn't there anymore? Did anyone else in the caravan see him go?
I wonder if Philip's removal was a surprise to anyone in the party. Perhaps it was more surprising to some than to others. It certainly would have been an interesting addition to the story that would be told when they all got home.
I wonder how many travelers were in the troupe -- and how many times they got to tell the story.
