"And he that was dead sat up, and began to speak. And he delivered him to his mother."
Commentary
Gill's Exposition
And he that was dead,.... That had been dead, (for he was now alive,) as it was a clear case to all his relations and friends, or they would never
have brought him out to bury him: sat up; upon the bed, or bier: and began to speak; both which, his sitting up and speaking, were plain proofs of his being brought to life: and he delivered him to his mother; for whose sake he raised him from the dead, commiserating her case: wherefore, as Christ showed his power in raising the dead man, he discovered great humanity, kindness, and tenderness, in delivering him alive to his mother; which might be done after he came off of the bier, by taking him by the hand, and leading him to his mother, and giving him up into her arms: think what affecting scene this must be!
