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?
