Vadim,

I do believe some rabbis thought and taught that Isaiah was speaking about 
himself. So the eunuch's question would not have been so stupid after all .

It may have to do with how the chapter starts (i.e. Isaiah 53) . In any case 
if i can find the rabbinical references i will post them here unless someone 
else beats me to it.
