And he that was dead
That had been dead, (for he was now alive,) as it was a clear
case to all his relations and friends, or they would never have
brought him out to bury him:
sat up;
upon the bed, or bier: and began to speak; both which, his
sitting up and speaking, were plain proofs of his being brought
to life:
and he delivered him to his mother;
for whose sake he raised him from the dead, commiserating her
case: wherefore, as Christ showed his power in raising the dead
man, he discovered great humanity, kindness, and tenderness, in
delivering him alive to his mother; which might be done after he
came off of the bier, by taking him by the hand, and leading him
to his mother, and giving him up into her arms: think what
affecting scene this must be!
