Verses 30-31: Then Philip ran up to the chariot and heard the man reading Isaiah the prophet. "Do you understand what you are reading?" Philip asked. "How can I," he said, "unless someone explains it to me?" So he invited Philip to come up and sit down with him.
Its comforting to see that an important official;, who one we can assume is well educated, had some trouble understanding the Bible. I think this passage underscores the need we all have - to have someone teach us. We may read a passage many times and not understand, or someone else may read the same passage and pick up a different meaning all together. This is why small groups, spiritual mentoring is important..
