Exposition of the New Testament (1746-1748)

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.

Commentary on the Whole Bible (1710)

He died upon the spot: Ananias, hearing these words, was speechless, in the same sense that he was who was charged with intruding into the wedding feast without a wedding garment: he had nothing to say for himself; but this was not all: he was struck speechless with a witness, for he was struck dead: He fell down, and gave up the ghost.

1762–1832

Commentary on the Bible (1832)

The young men arose - Some of the stout young men belonging to the disciples then present, who were the fittest to undertake a work of this kind, which required considerable bodily exertion. Buried him - This was on the same day in which he died. It was a clear case that he was dead, and dead by a judgment of God that would not be revoked. As therefore it was no case of suspended animation, there was no reason to delay the burial.
