Clarke's Acts 9:39 Bible Commentary
Showing the coats and garments - Χιτωνας και ἱματια, the outer and inner garments. These, it appears, she had made for the poor, and more particularly for poor widows, in whose behalf she had incessantly labored.
Barnes's Acts 9:39 Bible Commentary
Then Peter arose - See the notes on Luke 15:18.
And all the widows - Whom Dorcas had benefited by her kindness. They had lost a benefactress; and it was natural that they should recall her kindness, and express their gratitude, by enumerating the proofs of her beneficence. Each one would therefore naturally dwell on the kindness which had been shown to herself.
Wesley's Acts 9:39 Bible Commentary
9:39 While she was with the in - That is, before she died.
