II. JEROME TO PAULINUS.
— Was reading Isaiah in his chariot; asked Philip "How can I, unless someone teaches me?"; believed and was baptized in the same hour; Jerome says he is neither holier nor more studious than this eunuch
"the holy Eunuch -- or rather man (for thus Scripture names him) -- when he was reading Isaiah the prophet, asked by Philip: 'Do you think you understand what you are reading?' answered: 'How can I, unless someone teaches me?'"
