Hechos 9:40 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 9:40

But Peter put them all forth
As he had seen his Lord and Master do, when he raised the daughter of Jairus from the dead, ( Luke 8:54 )

and kneeled down and prayed;
it may be, as yet, he had not the mind of God in this matter, and therefore betook himself to prayer, in which he chose to be private and alone:

and turning him to the body;
the corpse of Dorcas, after he had prayed, and was well assured that the power of Christ would be exerted in raising of it:

said, Tabitha, arise;
which words were spoken in the name and faith of Christ, and were all one as, if Christ himself had spoken them; for to his power, and not to the apostles, is the following miracle to be ascribed: and she opened her eyes; which, upon her death, had been closed by her friends; and perhaps the napkin was not yet bound about her face: or if it was, she must remove it ere she could open her eyes and see Peter:

and when she saw Peter;
whom she might know:

she sat up;
upon the bed or bier on which she lay.

Hechos 9:40 In-Context

38 Y como Lida estaba cerca de Jope, los discípulos, al enterarse de que Pedro se encontraba en Lida, enviaron a dos hombres a rogarle: «¡Por favor, venga usted a Jope en seguida!»
39 Sin demora, Pedro se fue con ellos, y cuando llegó lo llevaron al cuarto de arriba. Todas las viudas se presentaron, llorando y mostrándole las túnicas y otros vestidos que Dorcas había hecho cuando aún estaba con ellas.
40 Pedro hizo que todos salieran del cuarto; luego se puso de rodillas y oró. Volviéndose hacia la muerta, dijo: «Tabita, levántate». Ella abrió los ojos y, al ver a Pedro, se incorporó.
41 Él, tomándola de la mano, la levantó. Luego llamó a los creyentes y a las viudas, a quienes la presentó viva.
42 La noticia se difundió por todo Jope, y muchos creyeron en el Señor.
