HOW PETER USE THE “KEYS OF THE KINGDOM” Jesus tell Peter say: “I go give you the keys of the Kingdom wey dey heaven.” (Matt. 16:19) Wetin Jesus mean? The “keys” show say Peter go make-am possible for different groups of people to learn the good news and get the hope to rule with Jesus for im Kingdom for heaven. Which time Peter use the keys?
Peter use the first key for Pentecost 33 C.E. when e tell Jews and people wey join Jew religion to repent and baptize. About 3,000 people baptize and get the hope to rule for God Kingdom.—Acts 2:1-41.
Small time after them kill Stephen, Peter use the second key. For this time, Peter and John put their hand ontop some Samaria people wey don baptize. The new disciples come receive holy spirit.—Acts 8:14-17.
Peter use the third key for 36 C.E. For that year, the people wey no be Jew and wey never circumcise come get the hope to rule for heaven. This one happen when the apostle Peter preach to Cornelius. Cornelius na the first person wey no be Jew and wey never circumcise wey become Christian.—Acts 10:1-48.
“Ẹ Chemoji Ẹwn̄ K’ẹ Chọkalatu-wn̄ Lẹ?” (Ẹwn̄ 8:26-40) 14, 15. (a) Ẹnẹ che “onoji Itiopia”, ugbo Filip la kẹrẹ bọ? (b) Abu ẹnẹkẹlẹ Itiopia lẹ dohi ọla ki Filip ka n̄wu, ẹn̄wu chi ki baptism n̄wu ch’ẹrẹrẹ? (G’ọla kẹkẹ ki d’ọganẹ.)

HOW E TAKE BE “EUNUCH”? The word “eunuch” na from the Greek word eu·nouʹkhos. E fit mean man wey them comot wetin fit make-am give woman belle, or man wey get high position for palace. For men wey de care for king wives and concubines, them fit don comot wetin go fit make them give woman belle. But for other people like, the oga of people wey de keep money or person wey de serve king drink, them no de do them like that. The Ethiopian eunuch wey Philip baptize get high position. Na im be the minister wey dey in charge of money, because e de control all the things wey get value for palace.
This man no be Jew, but e join Jew people religion and start to worship Jehovah. E de come from Jerusalem where e go worship God. (Acts 8:27) We fit talk say this man no be the kind eunuch wey them comot wetin go make-am fit give woman belle because Moses Law no allow men wey them don do like that to be part of the congregation of Israel.—Deut. 23:1.
BAPTISM FOR ‘INSIDE WATER’ Wetin be the correct way for Christian to baptize? Some people believe say e dey okay to pour or use small water wet person head. But, the man from Ethiopia wey get high position baptize for ‘inside water.’ The Bible talk say: “Philip and the man go down inside the water.” (Acts 8:36, 38) If e dey okay to pour or use small water wet person head to baptize-am, the man for no stop im chariot for where plenty water dey. Even small water, like the one for skin bottle for reach. The truth be say, the man fit get this bottle because e de travel for “desert road.”—Acts 8:26.
One research book talk say the Greek word wey them translate as “baptize” mean “to dip inside or to put inside.” Other places wey Bible talk about baptism agree with this meaning. John 3:23 talk say John “be de baptize people for Aenon near Salim, because big water dey for that place.” Na the same thing for the story of Jesus baptism, Bible talk say: “As e just come out of the water [Jesus] see heaven de open.” (Mark 1:9, 10) So the correct way for Christians to baptize na to dip the whole body inside water.

PHILIP—“PERSON WEY DE PREACH” When the disciples scatter go different-different place as people de suffer them, Philip go Samaria. E fit don tell the governing body that time everything wey de happen for Samaria, because “when the apostles for Jerusalem hear say people for Samaria don accept the word of God, them send Peter and John to them.” The new Christians come receive the free gift of holy spirit.—Acts 8:14-17.
After wetin happen for Acts chapter 8, the book of Acts talk about Philip one more time. When Paul don de finish im travel as missionary for the third time, im and the people with-am travel go Jerusalem. This one na about 20 years after Philip first preach for Samaria. Them stop for Ptolemais. Luke talk say: “The next day, we comot and come Caesarea. We enter the house of Philip wey be person wey de preach and wey be one of the seven men, and we stay with-am. This man get four daughters wey never marry wey de talk message from God.”—Acts 21:8, 9.
E be like say Philip stay for Caesarea and start im own family when e go preach for there. We learn something as Luke call Philip “person wey de preach.” Bible de use this name call anybody wey leave their house go preach for where the good news never reach. E clear say Philip never stop to put body for the preaching work. And as e get four daughters wey de talk message from God, this one show say e teach im family to love and serve Jehovah.
