Contextual Overview
8 The following day, we left and came to Caesarea, where we went to the home of Philip the proclaimer of the Good News, one of the Seven, and stayed with him. 9 He had four unmarried daughters with the gift of prophecy. 10 While we were staying there, a prophet named Agav came down from Y'hudah 11 to visit us. He took Sha'ul's belt, tied up his own hands and feet and said, "Here is what the Ruach HaKodesh says: the man who owns this belt — the Judeans in Yerushalayim will tie him up just like this and hand him over to the Goyim." 12 When we heard this, both we and the people there begged him not to go up to Yerushalayim; 13 but Sha'ul answered, "What are you doing, crying and trying to weaken my resolve? I am prepared not only to be tied up, but even to die in Yerushalayim for the name of the Lord Yeshua." 14 And when he would not be convinced, we said, "May the Lord's will be done," and kept quiet.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And the same man had four daughters,.... So that he was a married man, which may be observed against the Papists, who forbid marriage to ecclesiastics: and they were,
virgins: not under any vow of virginity, but they had not as yet changed their state of life, and were pure and incorrupt:
which did prophesy; not explain and interpret Scripture, or preach in public assemblies; for these were not allowed women, neither in the Jewish synagogues, nor in Christian assemblies; but they were endowed with a gift of foretelling future events, as was promised such should have in Gospel times, Joel 2:28.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Which did prophesy - See the notes on Acts 2:17; Acts 11:27. That females sometimes partook of the prophetic influence, and foretold future events, is evident from various places in the New Testament. See the notes on Acts 2:17.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Acts 21:9. Four daughters, virgins, which did prophesy. — Probably these were no more than teachers in the Church: for we have already seen that this is a frequent meaning of the word prophesy; and this is undoubtedly one thing intended by the prophecy of Joel, quoted Acts 2:17-18, of this book. If Philip's daughters might be prophetesses, why not teachers?
