Albert Barnes Commentary Acts 9:39

"And Peter arose and went with them. And when he was come, they brought him into the upper chamber: and all the widows stood by him weeping, and showing the coats and garments which Dorcas made, while she was with them." — Acts 9:39 (ASV)

Then Peter arose. See Barnes on Luke 15:8.

And all the widows. Whom Dorcas had benefited by her kindness. They had lost a benefactress; and it was natural that they should recall her kindness, and express their gratitude by enumerating the proofs of her beneficence. Each one would therefore naturally dwell on the kindness which had been shown to herself.

"garments," "mantles." While she was with them (John 12:11).
