‏ Acts 21:10-11

21:10 ^a Luke juxtaposes female prophets (21:9 ^b) with a male prophet (see study note on 17:34). Agabus, like the Old Testament prophets, used symbolic actions to proclaim his message (see thematic note for Prophetic Sign Acts at end of chapter).
Summary for Acts 21:11-14: 21:11-14 ^c Despite Agabus’s prediction of suffering and the believers’ begging Paul not to go to Jerusalem, Paul was resolutely ready even to die for the sake of the Lord Jesus. Luke stresses Paul’s courage, determination, and heroism as a Christian missionary who would let nothing interfere with his mission. See study note on 21:4-6.
