Acts 8:30

So Philip ran up [and stayed close to the chariot]. He heard the man reading from the prophet Isaiah. [In ancient times, it was common to read aloud.] Then he asked, "Do you understand what you are reading?"
[In Greek, the question is also a clever play on words. The Greek word for "understand" is ginosko, and "read" is anaginosko, which literally means "to understand again." It describes the process of how we read. We recognize the letters that make up the sentence. The letters are understood again in a new way.]
