THE ACTS OF THE APOSTLES - Chapter 20 - Verse 10

Verse 10. And fell on him, etc. Probably stretching himself on him as Elisha did on the Shunammite's son, 2 Ki 4:33-35. It was an act of tenderness and compassion, evincing a strong desire to restore him to life.

{o} "fell on him" 1 Ki 17:21; 2 Ki 4:34
