Ac 9:42 | King James | And it was known throughout all Joppa; and many believed in the Lord. |
Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
And many believed ... - A similar effect followed when Jesus raised up Lazarus. See Joh 12:11. This was the first miracle of this kind that was performed by the apostles. The effect was that many believed. It was not merely a work of benevolence, in restoring to life one who contributed largely to the comfort of the poor, but it was a means of extending and establishing, as it was designed doubtless to do, the kingdom of the Saviour. |
