Agabus
American Tract Society Bible Dictionary
"A prophet" of the early church, perhaps one of "the seventy" disciples of Christ. He foretold the famine, of which Suetonious and others speak, in the days of Claudius, A. D. 44. It was very severe in Judea; and aid was sent to the church at Jerusalem from Antioch, Acts 11:27 . Many years after, Agabus predicted the sufferings of Paul at the hands of the Jews, Acts 21:10 .
