Solution

The church leader who helped the Ethiopian man to understand the Scripture was Philip.

In the New Testament book of Acts, particularly in Acts 8:26-40, Philip, one of the seven deacons, is directed by an angel of the Lord to go to the road that leads from Jerusalem to Gaza. There he encounters an Ethiopian eunuch, a high-ranking official in charge of the treasury of the queen of the Ethiopians. The eunuch was reading from the Book of Isaiah but did not understand what he was reading. Philip approaches him and asks if he understands the passage. When the eunuch expresses his lack of understanding, Philip explains the Scripture to him, revealing that it speaks of Jesus. This interaction not only leads to the Ethiopian man's understanding of the Gospel but also results in his baptism by Philip.

This story highlights the importance of guidance and teaching in understanding religious texts, demonstrating how one can help another find meaning and clarity in Scripture.
