They sent unto him ] As loth to lose so useful a member, so dearly missed among them. Some when they die are no more missed than the sweepings of a house or the parings of the nails. But when good people die, there is a general loss and lamentation. read more
39 Then Peter arose and went with them. When he was come, they brought him into the upper chamber: and all the widows stood by him weeping, and shewing the coats and garments which Dorcas made, while she was with them. Ver. 39. They brought him ] Love is officious, and thinks not too much of any labour. And showing him the coats and garments ] A worthy employment for a wealthy woman. The like is reported of Queen Anne Boleyn. And I knew a very gracious matron (one mistress Alice Smith of... read more
40 But Peter put them all forth, and kneeled down, and prayed; and turning him to the body said, Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes: and when she saw Peter, she sat up. Ver. 40. Put them all forth ] That he might pray with more privacy and freedom. For he knew well that the prayer of faith could not heal the sick only, as Aeneas,Acts 9:34; Acts 9:34 , but raise the dead too, Hebrews 11:35 . read more
