- Acts 21:7–21:14
Acts 21:10 introduces the Judean prophet Agabus after several days; within Acts 21:7–21:14, the controlling movement is that At Caesarea the team stays with Philip and his four prophesying daughters; Agabus binds himself with Paul's belt and predicts Gentile custody, companions plead, and Paul remains ready to suffer.
Why It Needs Context
Introduces the Judean prophet Agabus after several days. Its responsible force depends on the full sequence, speaker, narrator framing, and outcome of Acts 21:7–21:14; it is connective evidence rather than a complete standalone teaching.
