Contextual Overview

8 on the morrow we set out, and arriv'd at Cesarea, and went to the house of Philip the evangelist, with whom we lodg'd: 9 he was one of the seven deacons, and had four daughters all virgins, prophetesses. 10 after we had been there several days, a prophet arriv'd from Judea, one Agabus, who made us a visit. 11 when taking Paul's girdle, he bound his own feet and hands, and said, "thus saith the holy spirit, so shall the Jews at Jerusalem bind the man, that owns this girdle, and deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles." 12 upon hearing this, we and some of the city intreated him not to go to Jerusalem. 13 but Paul replied, what do you mean by afflicting me thus with your tears? I am not only ready to meet my chains, but even to die at Jerusalem, for the name of the Lord Jesus. 14 he being then inflexible, we desisted, saying, the will of the Lord be done.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And as we tarried there many days,.... How many days is not said, it could not be very many, if the apostle got to Jerusalem by Pentecost, as he desired, Acts 20:6

there came down from Judea a certain prophet named Agabus; of whom mention is made in Acts 11:28 who is there said to come from Jerusalem, to Antioch, and here from Judea to Caesarea; he had been many years going about from place to place prophesying, for between that and this account must be a space of about sixteen or seventeen years.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

There came down - See the notes on Acts 15:1.

Named Agabus - See the notes on Acts 11:28.
