Verse 39
Luke told this story with much interesting detail. Peter accompanied the two men who came for him to Lydda (cf. Acts 10:7; Acts 10:23). The widows were evidently wearing the clothing Tabitha had made for them. The middle voice of the Greek verb translated "showing" in Acts 9:39 suggests this. She had made clothes for the poor widows. This was her ministry.
"She had the gift of sewing. Do you mean to tell me that sewing is a gift of the Holy Spirit? Yes, it was for this woman. May I suggest seeking a gift that is practical? [Note: McGee, 4:552.]
