What Happened

An Ethiopian eunuch — a high-ranking official in charge of the queen's treasury — is reading Isaiah on his chariot ride home but has zero clue what it means. The Spirit sends Philip to run alongside the chariot and break it down. Philip explains it's about Jesus, the official gets baptized roadside, and then Philip literally gets snatched away by the Spirit to his next assignment.
