Acts 20:12 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 20:12

And they brought the young man alive
Up into the upper room, and presented him alive to the disciples:

and were not a little comforted;
that is, the disciples, at the sight of the young man, who was taken up dead, not only for his sake, but chiefly because by this miracle the Gospel, which the apostle preached, and who was about to depart from them, was greatly confirmed to them.

Acts 20:12 In-Context

10 But Paul went down, threw himself on him, embraced him, and said, "Don't be alarmed, for his life is in him!"

11 After going upstairs, breaking the bread, and eating, he conversed a considerable time until dawn. Then he left.

12 They brought the boy home alive and were greatly comforted.

13 Then we went on ahead to the ship and sailed for Assos, from there intending to take Paul on board. For these were his instructions, since he himself was going by land.

14 When he met us at Assos, we took him on board and came to Mitylene.
