AGABUS . A Christian prophet of Jerusalem ( Acts 11:27 ff; Acts 21:10 f.), whose prediction of a famine over the (civilized) world occasioned the sending of alms from Antioch to Jerusalem. The famine happened, not simultaneously in all countries, in Claudius’ reign (Suetonius, Tacitus). Agabus also foretold St. Paul’s imprisonment, by binding his feet and hands with the Apostle’s girdle (cf. Jeremiah 13:1 ff.).
A. J. Maclean.
