The Greek verb "erchomai" (ἔρχομαι) is used here, which means "to come" or "to go." This suggests a purposeful movement, emphasizing the intentionality of Agabus's visit. Historically, prophets in the early church were itinerant, moving from place to place to deliver God's messages. Agabus's arrival signifies the importance of the message he is about to deliver.took Paul's belt The act of taking Paul's belt is symbolic and prophetic. In the ancient Near East, prophets often used symbolic actions to convey their messages. The belt, or "zone" (ζώνη) in Greek, was a common garment accessory, used to gird up one's loins for work or travel. By taking Paul's belt, Agabus is not only identifying the owner but also using it as a tangible representation of Paul's impending fate.bound his own feet and hands This dramatic action by Agabus serves as a visual prophecy. The Greek word "deo" (δέω) means "to bind" or "to tie." In the Old Testament, prophets like Isaiah and Jeremiah often used symbolic acts to communicate God's messages (e.g., <a href="/isaiah/20-2.htm">Isaiah 20:2-4</a>, <a href="/jeremiah/13.htm">Jeremiah 13:1-11</a>). Agabus's binding of his own feet and hands is a vivid illustration of the captivity and restraint that Paul will face, emphasizing the seriousness and inevitability of the prophecy.and said, 'The Holy Spirit says This phrase underscores the divine authority behind Agabus's message. The Holy Spirit, or "Pneuma Hagion" (Πνεῦμα Ἅγιον) in Greek, is the third person of the Trinity, guiding and directing the early church. The phrase "The Holy Spirit says" indicates that this is not merely Agabus's opinion but a revelation from God. It highlights the role of the Holy Spirit in guiding the apostles and the early church, as seen throughout the Book of Acts.In this way the Jews of Jerusalem will bind The prophecy specifically mentions "the Jews of Jerusalem," indicating the source of the opposition Paul will face. The phrase "will bind" uses the future tense, "desousin" (δήσουσιν), indicating a certain and forthcoming event. Historically, Jerusalem was the center of Jewish religious life, and Paul's message of the Gospel was often met with resistance from those who adhered strictly to Jewish law. This prophecy foreshadows the conflict between the nascent Christian movement and traditional Jewish authorities.the owner of this belt This phrase personalizes the prophecy, directly linking it to Paul. The "owner" (Greek: "ho anēr," ὁ ἀνήρ) of the belt is Paul, making the prophecy specific and personal. It serves as a reminder of the cost of discipleship and the personal sacrifices that come with following Christ. Paul's willingness to face such trials is a testament to his commitment to the Gospel and his trust in God's plan.and hand him over to the Gentiles The phrase "hand him over" (Greek: "paradounai," παραδοῦναι) suggests betrayal or delivery into the hands of another. In the context of the New Testament, "Gentiles" (Greek: "ethnesin," ἔθνεσιν) often refers to non-Jews, particularly the Roman authorities. This prophecy foreshadows Paul's eventual arrest and trials before Roman officials, as detailed later in Acts. It highlights the broader mission of the Gospel to reach all nations, despite opposition and persecution.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/acts/21.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(11) He took Paul's girdle, and bound his own hands and feet.--The MSS. vary between "his hands" (St. Paul's) and "his own;" but the latter is by far the best-supported reading. It is interesting to note the revival of the old prophetic manner of predicting by symbolic acts. So Isaiah had walked "naked and barefoot" (<a href="/context/isaiah/20-3.htm" title="And the LORD said, Like as my servant Isaiah has walked naked and barefoot three years for a sign and wonder on Egypt and on Ethiopia;">Isaiah 20:3-4</a>); and Jeremiah had gone and left his girdle in a cave on the banks of the Euphrates, and had made bonds and yokes, and had put them on his neck (<a href="/context/jeremiah/13-1.htm" title="Thus said the LORD to me, Go and get you a linen girdle, and put it on your loins, and put it not in water.">Jeremiah 13:1-11</a>; <a href="/jeremiah/27-2.htm" title="Thus said the LORD to me; Make you bonds and yokes, and put them on your neck,">Jeremiah 27:2</a>); and Ezekiel had portrayed the siege of Jerusalem on a tile, and had cut the hair from his head and beard (<a href="/context/ezekiel/4-1.htm" title="You also, son of man, take you a tile, and lay it before you, and portray on it the city, even Jerusalem:">Ezekiel 4:1-3</a>; <a href="/context/ezekiel/5-1.htm" title="And you, son of man, take you a sharp knife, take you a barber's razor, and cause it to pass on your head and on your beard: then take you balances to weigh, and divide the hair.">Ezekiel 5:1-4</a>). Looking to the previous relations between St. Paul and Agabus at Antioch (<a href="/acts/11-27.htm" title="And in these days came prophets from Jerusalem to Antioch.">Acts 11:27</a>), we may well believe that the latter, foreseeing the danger to which the Apostle would be exposed, came down to Caesarea, in a spirit of friendly anxiety, to warn him not to come. The feeling which led to the murderous plot of <a href="/acts/23-12.htm" title="And when it was day, certain of the Jews banded together, and bound themselves under a curse, saying that they would neither eat nor drink till they had killed Paul.">Acts 23:12</a> could be no secret to a prophet living at Jerusalem. . . . <div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/acts/21.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verse 11. - Coming to for when he was come unto, A.V.; and taking for he took, A.V.; he bound for and bound, A.V.; feet and hands for hands and feet, A.V. and T.R. Bound his own feet, etc. The R.T. has ἑαυτοῦ which leaves no doubt that Agabus bound his own hands and feet. The reading of the T.R., αὐτοῦ, would rather indicate Paul's hands and feet, as Grotius, Hammond, and others take it, though less conformably to the context. (For similar symbolical actions of the old prophets, see <a href="/isaiah/20-2.htm">Isaiah 20:2, 3</a>; <a href="/jeremiah/13-1.htm">Jeremiah 13:1-7</a>; <a href="/1_kings/22-11.htm">1 Kings 22:11</a>; <a href="/ezekiel/4-1.htm">Ezekiel 4:1-6</a>; <a href="/ezekiel/12-3.htm">Ezekiel 12:3-7</a>; <a href="/ezekiel/24-16.htm">Ezekiel 24:16-24</a>, etc.) Shall deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.
