{Delay not} (m(8820)okn(8873)(8869)s). Ingressive aorist active
subjunctive in prohibition. Direct discourse and not indirect as
late MSS. have (aorist active infinitive, okn(8873)ai). Possibly
the two messengers started before Dorcas was quite dead, though
we do not know. Peter had recently healed Aeneas and the
disciples may have had faith enough to believe that he could
raise the dead by the power of Christ. W. M. Ramsay doubts if
Dorcas was really dead, but why see legends in these supernatural
events?
