Philip and the Ethiopian | Scripture Story Sketch Notes | Printable PDF

A hand-drawn, doodle-style study of Philip and the Ethiopian on the desert road, built around a humble question: “How can I, except some man should guide me?” (Acts 8:31).

Follow a numbered map down the road, then look closer at the details. Context, Greek words and Isaiah 53 help, while the focus stays on the Savior.

What's Inside

• Cover with a numbered map and a contents list
• The story, plainly: four scenes, “Look to Him” notes, the hard King James words explained, and a draw-and-write page
• Look closer: nine cards on the desert road, the chariot, Isaiah, the lamb, the guide, the water, the Spirit, running and rejoicing
• Where are you? Reading but not understanding, ready to guide, held back, or going on rejoicing, with check-ins
• Find Him in the scripture: fill in what happened, then write what Isaiah 53 teaches about Jesus
• Their world, their words: Philip, ancient Ethiopia, a trusted servant, Isaiah 53 and two Greek words
• Look to Him: what an Apostle has taught, with the Ethiopian’s testimony
• Seek Him today: a question to ask yourself, a seven-day tracker, talk-about questions and verses to hold
• Go deeper: summaries and links for adult and deeper study
• Sources: every quotation and gloss cited with links (scripture first, then Church sources, then labeled outside sources)

Perfect For

• Personal and family Come, Follow Me study of Acts 8, lessons on scripture study and baptism, and youth or Primary classes any year
• Family home evening
• Primary, Sunday School, youth and seminary teachers
• Adults who want a deeper, well-sourced study
