A quick googling shows that it *is* ...Oh, goodness. A quick googling shows that it *is* about quibbling over those details. That's really silly. Agabus is just giving a general summary. The Jews *did* grab him, which I would say counts as "binding." He *was* relinquished to the Romans when they ran up to stop the riot.

Agabus's prophecy came...I don't understand. Agabus's prophecy came true. Paul was bound and delivered into the hands of the Gentiles when he went to Jerusalem. The only way in which it might be regarded as a slightly confusing summary is that, to be precise, the Gentiles rescued Paul from being killed by a mob of Jews, and then the Gentiles kept Paul as prisoner. The way Agabus words it one might get the impression that the Jews would hand him over as a prisoner in an orderly fashion to the Romans. But I take it that is not the sense in which the prophecy is supposed to be in error? In general outline (Paul's being bound and made a prisoner of the Gentiles), it was fulfilled.Lydia McGrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00423567323116960820noreply@blogger.com
