Atos 9:41 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 9:41

And he gave her his hand, and lift her up
Off of the bed or bier where she was:

and when he had called the saints and widows;
the disciples, brethren and sisters, who were come together on this occasion, as well as the poor widows she had been kind to; the Ethiopic version reads without a copulative, "the holy widows"; and so might these widows be, even such as are described in ( 1 Timothy 5:10 )

presented her alive;
as Christ did the widow's son of Naam to her, ( Luke 7:15 ) and which no doubt was matter of great joy as well as astonishment to all the saints, and especially to the poor widows.

Atos 9:41 In-Context

39 Pedro levantou-se e foi com eles; quando chegou, levaram-no ao cenáulo; e todas as viúvas o cercaram, chorando e mostrando-lhe as túnicas e vestidos que Dorcas fizera enquanto estava com elas.

40 Mas Pedro, tendo feito sair a todos, pôs-se de joelhos e orou; e voltando-se para o corpo, disse: Tabita, levanta-te. Ela abriu os olhos e, vendo a Pedro, sentou-se.

41 Ele, dando-lhe a mão, levantou-a e, chamando os santos e as viúvas, apresentou-lha viva.

42 Tornou-se isto notório por toda a Jope, e muitos creram no Senhor.

43 Pedro ficou muitos dias em Jope, em casa de um curtidor chamado Simão.
