Who did Philip say the prophet in Isaiah 53 was talking about?
Philip explained from Isaiah 53 that the prophet was speaking about Jesus. He showed the Ethiopian eunuch that this Jesus had gone throughout Israel proving who He was, and the eunuch confessed, 'I believe that Jesus was the Christ, the Son of the living God.'
Les explains that in Acts chapter 8, Philip encountered the Ethiopian eunuch and showed him out of Isaiah 53 who the prophet was talking about. Philip explained that it was this Jesus who had gone up and down the highways and byways of Israel proving who He was. Philip then brought the eunuch to the same place of decision, asking if he believed, and the eunuch confessed, 'Yes, I believe that Jesus was the Christ, the Son of the living God.' That was their profession of faith, and it was all still under the law.
