Luke repeateth, again, in the end that she was showed openly to the disciples; whence we gather that she was raised again, rather for other men’s sake than for her own. Brain-sick fellows, (641) who dream that the soul of man is only a blast which vanisheth away until the day of the resurrection, snatch at this place to prove their doting withal. To what end was it (say they) to call back the soul of Tabitha into the prison of the body, where it should suffer such misery, if it were received into blessed rest? As if it were not lawful for God to have respect of his glory as well in death as in life; and as if this were not the true felicity of the godly to live and die to him, yea, as if Christ were not to us a vantage, as well by living as dying, (Phi 1:21<\/span>,) when we dedicate ourselves to him. Therefore, there shall no inconvenience follow, if the Lord had greater respect to his own glory than to Tabitha, although, as the commodity (642) of the faithful is always annexed to the glory of God, this turned to her greater good that she revived, that she might be a more excellent instrument of God’s goodness and power. <\/p>\n (641) “ Fanatici quidam,” certain fanatics. <\/p>\n (642) “ Utilitas,” advantage, interest. <\/p>\n (41) And when he had called the saints.<\/strong>See Note on Act. 9:13<\/span>.<\/p>\n 41<\/strong>. <\/strong> Presented her alive<\/strong> In the manner of performing the miracle Peter follows the example of Jesus in raising Jairus’ daughter, at which miracle he was one of the admitted spectators; just as if our Lord expected that they <\/em> might be empowered and required to perform the same great deed.<\/p>\n ‘And he gave her his hand, and raised her up, and calling the saints and widows, he presented her alive.’<\/p>\n Then Peter gave her his hand, and raised her from her lying in wait, and calling in the people of God, and especially the widows, he presented her alive.

Thus, while retaining a close resemblance, as we might surely expect, to our Lord’s action in St. Mark’s narrative, there is yet sufficient independence of detail to show that one description is not a slavish imitation of the other. : Rendall sees in the words reference to an organised body, 1Ti 5:11-16<\/span> , engaged in the service of the Church, but the context only points to the widows who had been previously mentioned, species post genus<\/em> , as in Act 9:36<\/span> (Blass).<\/p>\n lifted her up.
