Acts 8:36

They came unto a certain water. The locality of the baptism is not certain. There are several roads from Jerusalem to Gaza. The one by Hebron is through "desert" more than the others. Eusebius and Jerome state that the baptism occurred at a perennial stream, coming from a fountain at Bethsur, not far from Hebron. Robinson places the baptism not far from Gaza, at the old site of Eglon.

See, [here is] water. The Greek is, "Behold! Water"! As if his soul was filled with joy that he could obey.

What doth hinder me? Nothing, if he was a believer and the means were at hand.
