What the Fathers say
Eastern Fathers
John Chrysostom
"And the same man had four daughters, virgins, which did prophesy." But it is not these that foretell to Paul, though they were prophetesses; it is Agabus.
Oecumenius
It should be noted that the daughters of the deacon Philip were prophetesses, so that it is possible for one who partakes in service to minister in marriages. Note also that his prophetic daughters were virgins, and that they practiced this more out of holiness, so that they were deemed worthy of prophecy. Therefore it is clear that virginity was a matter of great importance to them as well. For if it had not been a matter of great importance, the author would not have added that they were also virgins. [CHRYSOSTOM]
