Context of Acts 21:10
8And on the morrow we departed, and came unto Cæsarea: and entering into the house of Philip the evangelist, who was one of the seven, we abode with him. 9Now this man had four virgin daughters, who prophesied. And as we tarried there some days, there came down from Judæa a certain prophet, named Agabus. 11And coming to us, and taking Paul’s girdle, he bound his own feet and hands, and said, Thus saith the Holy Spirit, So shall the Jews at Jerusalem bind the man that owneth this girdle, and shall deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles. 12And when we heard these things, both we and they of that place besought him not to go up to Jerusalem.

- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 8-18Verses 8-18 Paul had express warning of his troubles, that when they came, they might be no surprise or terror to him.

Their weeping began to weaken and slacken his resolution Has not our Master told us to take up our cross?

- Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 10Luke places female prophets (21:9) alongside a male prophet (see study note on 17:34). This shows that both women and men were used by God to speak his message in the early church. Agabus, like the Old Testament prophets (God’s messengers before the time of Jesus), used symbolic actions (visible actions that show a message) to communicate what God had revealed to him (see “Prophetic Sign Acts” Theme Note).Read the comment
