ἆρά & γινώσκεις ἃ ἀναγινώσκεις
(Some words not found in SR-GNT: προσδραμών Δέ ὁ Φίλιππος ἤκουσεν αὐτοῦ ἀναγινώσκοντος Ἠσαΐαν τόν προφήτην καί εἶπεν Ἆρα γέ γινώσκεις ἅ ἀναγινώσκεις)
The Ethiopian was a literate, educated man who could read, but he lacked spiritual discernment. Philip is asking implicitly whether he understands the meaning of the passage from Isaiah. Alternate translation: [Do you understand the meaning of what you are reading?]
