Actes 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 ) .

Actes 21:9 In-Context

7 Achevant notre navigation, nous allâmes de Tyr à Ptolémaïs, où nous saluâmes les frères, et passâmes un jour avec eux.
8 Nous partîmes le lendemain, et nous arrivâmes à Césarée. Etant entrés dans la maison de Philippe l'évangéliste, qui était l'un des sept, nous logeâmes chez lui.
9 Il avait quatre filles vierges qui prophétisaient.
10 Comme nous étions là depuis plusieurs jours, un prophète, nommé Agabus, descendit de Judée,
11 et vint nous trouver. Il prit la ceinture de Paul, se lia les pieds et les mains, et dit: Voici ce que déclare le Saint-Esprit: L'homme à qui appartient cette ceinture, les Juifs le lieront de la même manière à Jérusalem, et le livreront entre les mains des païens.
