Beck translation for Acts 8: 26-40. I read this story in 7 or 8 bibles tonight, and The Voice is the only one that offers some clarification as to why the Ethiopian asked if there was anything to prevent him from being baptized. In a footnote (within the scripture), it says "possibly a reference to the Jewish prohibition of full participation in temple worship by men who have been castrated----a prohibition he likely encounters in this very visit to Jerusalem." I will share this with y class because they have probably never heard that before. I had not.
