Acts 21:11 - Exposition

Coming to for when he was come unto, A.V.; and taking for he took, A.V.; he bound for and bound, A.V.; feet and hands for hands and feet, A.V. and T.R. Bound his own feet , etc. The R.T. has ἑαυτοῦ which leaves no doubt that Agabus bound his own hands and feet. The reading of the T.R., αὐτοῦ , would rather indicate Paul's hands and feet, as Grotius, Hammond, and others take it, though less conformably to the context. (For similar symbolical actions of the old prophets, see Isaiah 20:2 , Isaiah 20:3 ; Jeremiah 13:1-7 ; 1 Kings 22:11 ; Ezekiel 4:1-6 ; Ezekiel 12:3-7 ; Ezekiel 24:16-24 , etc.) Shall deliver him into the hands of the Gentries . Nearly the same words as those in which our Lord foretold his own betrayal.
