Do we expect too little of our faith in the times we live in? The supernatural was the natural in the Scriptures and was used to accomplish the works of the Trinity on earth. In the measure that we believe is the measure we can receive because nothing is impossible with God!
The Greek word translated caught here is also used in 1 Thess. 4:17 for the catching away of the church into the air. Though this passage may say only that Philip went from the desert to Azotus, most likely the terminology indicates a miraculous transportation.
Acts 8:38-40
38 So he commanded the chariot to stand still. And both Philip and the eunuch went down into the water, and he baptized him. 39 Now when they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught Philip away, so that the eunuch saw him no more; and he went on his way rejoicing. 40 But Philip was found at Azotus. And passing through, he preached in all the cities till he came to Caesarea.
