Agapo
A low-key figure among the Sixty-Two Disciples, he displays talents as a Prophet:
I said, "Certainly Jesus loves me. I call upon his love to my rescue" and love came to me, like a fire, a light... a force.... The man in front of me watched me and sneered ironically, winking at his friends. He was sure he would win the argument. I opened my mouth, and it was like a flood of words coming joyfully out of my imbecile mouth..."[1]He remains among the faithful after the speech on the Bread of Life, which causes a schism in the apostolic company.[2]
Its name
Agape or Agapo is the translation of the Greek "agapai" which denotes a communal meal, of charity

Maybe this Agabus whom we see appear twice in the Acts of the Apostles: in[3] where he predicts, in Antioch, a famine that took place during the reign of Emperor Claudius, and in[4] where he predicts the imprisonment of Saul (Paul).
In favor of this hypothesis, we can retain the proximity of name and especially his speech to Jesus in[5], where he refers to his invocations to the Spirit typically found in passages from the Acts of the Apostles.[6]
He is celebrated on April 8 (others postulate February 13) and is given patron saint of prophets.
