Question: Who said the following: "Thus saith the Holy Ghost, so shall the Jews at Jerusalem bind the man that owneth this girdle, and shall deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles."
Answer: Agabus. (Acts 21:10-11)
Comments: Agabus was a prophet who appears twice in the book of Acts. (Acts 11:27-28, Acts 21:10-12) He first successfully predicts a famine and then many years later warns Paul that the apostle would be bound if he persisted in his plans to travel to Jeruslaem.
And coming to us, he took Paul's belt and bound his own feet and hands, and said, "This is what the Holy Spirit says: 'In this way the Jews at Jerusalem will bind the man who owns this belt and deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.'" (Acts 21:11, NASB)
Paul did not heed Agabus' warning and was arrested as was prophesied.
