Handelingen 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 ) .

Handelingen 21:9 In-Context

7 Wij nu, de scheepvaart volbracht hebbende van Tyrus, kwamen aan te Ptolemais, en de broeders gegroet hebbende, bleven een dag bij hen.
8 En des anderen daags, Paulus en wij, die met hem waren, gingen van daar en kwamen te Cesarea; en gegaan zijnde in het huis van Filippus, den evangelist (die een was van de zeven), bleven wij bij hem.
9 Deze nu had vier dochters, nog maagden, die profeteerden.
10 En als wij daar vele dagen gebleven waren, kwam er een zeker profeet af van Judea, met name Agabus;
11 En hij kwam tot ons, en nam den gordel van Paulus, en zichzelven handen en voeten gebonden hebbende, zeide: Dit zegt de Heilige Geest: Den man, wiens deze gordel is, zullen de Joden alzo te Jeruzalem binden, en overleveren in de handen der heidenen.
