Agabus was an early Christian prophet and apostle from Antioch who is recorded in the biblical book of Acts. His name, which may have been a pseudonym, is thought to derive from an Aramaic word meaning grasshopper. He is traditionally identified as one of the seventy disciples mentioned in the Gospel of Luke. Agabus is primarily known for his prophetic warnings, including a prediction regarding a famine and a symbolic demonstration concerning the future arrest of the Apostle Paul.
