Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
ἀνοίξας & τὸ στόμα αὐτοῦ
/having/_opened_up & the mouth ˱of˲_him
By association with the way a person would be opening his mouth in order to speak, this means that Philip spoke. The image of the open mouth suggests a certain confidence and freedom in speaking. Alternate translation: “speaking confidently”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
τῆς Γραφῆς ταύτης
¬the Scripture this
By this scripture, Luke implicitly means the passage that the official had been reading. Alternate translation: “the passage from Isaiah that the official had been reading”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
εὐηγγελίσατο αὐτῷ τὸν Ἰησοῦν
˱he˲_gospel_preached ˱to˲_him ¬the Jesus
Luke is using the name Jesus by association to mean the message about Jesus. Alternate translation: “the good news about Jesus”
8:26-40 Philip obeyed the Holy Spirit’s leading and then seized the opportunity to share the message of Good News with a eunuch on the desert road . . . from Jerusalem to Gaza. This incident shows Philip’s remarkable effectiveness as a Christian apologist and evangelist in his outreach for Christ and in his commitment to bringing the Good News to all people regardless of social class or ethnicity.
