Gill's Notes on the Bible

And in these days came prophets from Jerusalem to Antioch., That is, some time in that year that Saul and Barnabas were at Antioch, there came from Jerusalem thither some Christian prophets; for such there were in the Christian church, who had not only a gift of expounding the more mysterious prophecies of the Old Testament, but also of foretelling things to come; see

Acts 13:1.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

And in these days - While Barnabas and Saul were at Antioch.

Came prophets - The word “prophet” denotes properly “one who foretells future events.” See the notes on Matthew 7:15. It is sometimes used in the New Testament to denote simply “religious teachers, instructors sent from God, without particular reference to future events.” To teach the people in the doctrines of religion was a part of the prophetic office, and this idea was only sometimes denoted by the use of the word. See Rom 12:6; 1 Corinthians 12:10, 1 Corinthians 12:28; 1Co 13:2, 1 Corinthians 13:8; 1 Corinthians 14:3, 1 Corinthians 14:5,1 Corinthians 14:24. These prophets seem to have been endowed in a remarkable manner with the knowledge of future events; with the power of explaining mysteries; and in some cases with the power of speaking foreign languages. In this case, it seems that one of them at least had the power of foretelling future events.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Acts 11:27. Came prophets from Jerusalem — Though the term prophet is used in the New Testament simply to signify a teacher, (Genesis 20:7; Genesis 20:7, where the subject is largely explained,) yet here it evidently means also such as are under Divine inspiration, and foretold future events. This was certainly the case with Agabus, Acts 11:28, though, perhaps, his ordinary character was that of a teacher or preacher. It seems from various scriptures, Romans 12:4, c., Acts 13:2-40, that the prophets of the New Testament were:

1. Teachers or preachers in general.

2. Persons who, on special occasions, were under the influence of the Divine Spirit, and then foretold certain future events.

3. Persons who recited hymns to the honour of God in the public assemblies of the Christians.

4. Persons who prayed in those assemblies, having sometimes the gift of tongues, at other times not.

From Ephesians 2:20; Ephesians 3:5, we learn that the prophets of the Christian Church were inferior to the apostles; but, from Ephesians 4:11, we see that they were superior to all other teachers, even to evangelists and pastors.
