Charles Ellicott Commentary Luke 7:15

"And he that was dead sat up, and began to speak. And he gave him to his mother." — Luke 7:15 (ASV)

He delivered him to his mother.—Literally, He gave him. The mother was, probably, following at some little distance with the other mourners. As she came up she received her son as given to her once again, “God-given,” in a higher sense than when she had rejoiced that a man-child was born into the world.
