The name that is transliterated as «Agabus» in English means «locust,» «grasshopper.» (Source: Cornwall / Smith 1997 )
In Libras (Brazilian Sign Language) it is translated with a sign that combines «hunger» and «wrist.» Agabus prophesied world hunger (Acts 11:28) and Paul’s imprisonment by binding his own feet and hands with Paul’s belts (Acts 21:10 and following). (Source: Missão Kophós )
