The Chastisement That Brings Us Peace
Eunuchs were forcefully removed from the possibility of having children. Because they lacked the ability to give life, symbolically, they weren't allowed into the center of life. So if you were eunuch, you had to stay on the outside of the picture of intimacy and communion with God. But this person was interested in God, and so he showed up and got near the temple and then he bought a scroll of Isaiah. He's talking about somebody that was a sacrifice, like a lamb, that the chastisement that brought us peace fell on him.
