What the Fathers say

Acts 8:34

Eastern Fathers

John Chrysostom

And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray thee, of whom speaketh the prophet this? of himself, or of some other man? That he should at all know either that the Prophets speak in different ways about different persons, or that they speak of themselves in another person-the question betokens a very thoughtful mind.

Homily on Acts 19 ↗

Theophylact of Ohrid

"I ask you to tell me, of whom does the prophet say this?" To know that the prophets sometimes speak about others as well, or about themselves in another person, because this is what his question shows — the quality of a very observant man.
