Commentary

Peter put them all forth, and kneeled down--the one in imitation of his Master's way (Luk 8:54; and compare Kg2 4:33); the other, in striking contrast with it. The kneeling became the lowly servant, but not the Lord Himself, of whom it is never once recorded that he knelt in the performance of a miracle. opened her eyes, and when she saw Peter, she sat up--The graphic minuteness of detail here imparts to the narrative an air of charming reality.
