Acts 20:12 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 20:12

And they brought the young man alive
Up into the upper room, and presented him alive to the disciples:

and were not a little comforted;
that is, the disciples, at the sight of the young man, who was taken up dead, not only for his sake, but chiefly because by this miracle the Gospel, which the apostle preached, and who was about to depart from them, was greatly confirmed to them.
