“And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray thee, of whom speaketh the prophet this? of himself, or of some other man?”
The eunuch asked Philip, 'Tell me, please, who is the prophet talking about, himself or someone else?' - the eunuch's question is the pivot point: 'Who is the prophet talking about?' (peri tinos ho prophētēs legei touto;). He does not know whether Isaiah speaks about himself or 'someone else.' This is the gap into which Philip will insert the gospel; the eunuch's ignorance becomes opportunity for revelation.
