Acts 21:8 - Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown

Acts 21:8

6 When we had taken our leave of one another, we boarded the ship, and they returned ^ahome.

7 And when we had finished our voyage from Tyre, we came to Ptolemais, greeted the brethren, and stayed with them one day.

8 On the next day we¹ who were Paul’s companions departed and came to ^aCaesarea, and entered the house of Philip ^bthe evangelist, ^cwho was one of the seven, and stayed with him.

9 Now this man had four virgin daughters ^awho prophesied.

10 And as we stayed many days, a certain prophet named ^aAgabus came down from Judea.

11 When he had come to us, he took Paul’s belt, bound his own hands and feet, and said, “Thus says the Holy Spirit, ^a‘So shall the Jews at Jerusalem bind the man who owns this belt, and deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.’ ”

12 Now when we heard these things, both we and those from that place pleaded with him not to go up to Jerusalem.

next day we that were of Paul's company departed—(The words "the were of Paul's company" are omitted in the best manuscripts. They were probably added as the connecting words at the head of some church lessons).

and came to Cæsarea—a run along the coast, southward, of some thirty miles.

Philip the evangelist—a term answering apparently very much to our missionary [HOWSON], by whose ministry such joy had been diffused over Samaria and the Ethiopian eunuch had been baptized (Acts 8:4-40).

one of the seven—deacons, who had "purchased to himself a good degree" (I Timothy 3:13). He and Paul now meet for the first time, some twenty-five years after that time.
