Acts 11:28

Verse 28. Named Agabus. This man is mentioned but in one other place in the New Testament. In Ac 21:10,11, he is mentioned as having foretold that Paul would be delivered into the hands of the Gentiles. It is not expressly said that he was a Christian, but the connexion seems to imply that he was. And signified. See Joh 12:33. The word usually denotes, to indicate by signs, or with a degree of obscurity and uncertainty, not to declare in explicit language. But here it seems to denote simply to foretell, to predict. By the Spirit. Under the influence of the Spirit. He was inspired. A great dearth. A great famine. Throughout all the world.
