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.

Acts 20:12 In-Context

10 Paul went down and threw himself on the young man. He put his arms around him. "Don't be alarmed," he told them. "He's alive!"

11 Then Paul went upstairs again. He broke bread and ate with them. He kept on talking until daylight. Then he left.

12 The people took the young man home. They were greatly comforted because he was alive.

13 We went on ahead to the ship. We sailed for Assos. There we were going to take Paul on board. He had planned it this way because he wanted to go there by land.

14 So he met us at Assos. We took him on board and went on to Mitylene.
