Exegesis
The reflexive pronoun heautou {ἑαυτοῦ | he-au-toû} ‘himself’ highlights the prophet’s identification with Paul by binding his own limbs.
In context — Acts 21:11
He came to us, took Paul’s belt, bound his own feet and hands, and said, “Thus says the Holy Spirit : ‘In this way the Jews in Jerusalem will bind the man who owns this belt, and they will deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles .’”
