Verse 11
And when he was come unto us ,.... In Philip's house:
he took Paul's girdle and bound his own hands and feet ; and so prophesied by types and symbols, and gestures, as the prophets of old did; as Isaiah in Isaiah 20:2 and Jeremiah in Jeremiah 13:1 , and Ezekiel in Ezekiel 4:1 and Hosea in Hosea 1:2 , some understand this of his binding Paul's hands and feet, but it seems rather to design his own:
and said, thus saith the Holy Ghost ; who was in Agabus, and spoke by him, and foretold some things to come to pass; and which did come to pass, and is a proof of the foreknowledge, and so of the deity of the blessed Spirit:
so shall the Jews at Jerusalem bind the man that owns this girdle ; meaning Paul, and who accordingly was bound in like manner, a very little time after this; see Acts 21:33
and shall deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles ; the Romans, as they afterwards did.
