Atos 21:9 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 21:9

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 ) .

Atos 21:9 In-Context

7 Concluída a nossa viagem de Tiro, chegamos a Ptolemaida; e, havendo saudado os irmãos, passamos um dia com eles.
8 Partindo no dia seguinte, fomos a Cesaréia; e entrando em casa de Felipe, o evangelista, que era um dos sete, ficamos com ele.
9 Tinha este quatro filhas virgens que profetizavam.
10 Demorando-nos ali por muitos dias, desceu da Judéia um profeta, de nome Ágabo;
11 e vindo ter conosco, tomou a cinta de Paulo e, ligando os seus próprios pés e mãos, disse: Isto diz o Espírito Santo: Assim os judeus ligarão em Jerusalém o homem a quem pertence esta cinta, e o entregarão nas mãos dos gentios.
