SCRIPTURE

"And the young men arose and wrapped him round, and they carried him out and buried him." — Acts 5:6 (ASV)

And the young men arose
The younger brethren of the church, who were robust, and strong, and fit for the following service: these rose up from their seats at once, not willing that such an awful spectacle should lie long before them:

and wound him up ;
in linen clothes, as was the manner of the Jews:

and carried him out :
of the house where they were, and out of the city; for the burying places of the Jews were without the city:

and buried him ;
which was all done in a very short time, as appears by what follows.
