And the eunuch answered Philip, and said,. pray thee, of whom speaketh the prophet this? of himself, or of some other?

'I PRAY THEE'-'Please tell me' (NASV).

'OF WHOM SPEAKETH THE PROPHET..'-At this point we encounter something somewhat humorous in our own times. That is, many "religious experts" to this day disagree as "who" is the subject of Isaiah 2:1. Bruce notes, 'Philip had no difficulty, nor did he hesitate between. number of alternative answers.' (p. 189)

Point to Note:

Consider the task of the preacher. It isn't to give every possible meaning of. verse, rather, it is to give the one true meaning (2 Timothy 4:2; 2 Timothy 2:15). And the servant of God must always operate with the understanding that one correct view does exist.
