SCRIPTURE

"And he gave her his hand, and raised her up; and calling the saints and widows, he presented her alive." — Acts 9:41 (ASV)

And he gave her his hand, and lift her up
Off of the bed or bier where she was:

and when he had called the saints and widows ;
the disciples, brethren and sisters, who were come together on this occasion, as well as the poor widows she had been kind to; the Ethiopic version reads without a copulative, "the holy widows"; and so might these widows be, even such as are described in (1 Timothy 5:10)

presented her alive ;
as Christ did the widow's son of Naam to her, (Luke 7:15) and which no doubt was matter of great joy as well as astonishment to all the saints, and especially to the poor widows.
