1 Kings 17:19-23

17:19 He said to her, “Hand me your son.” He took him from her arms, carried him to the upper room where he was staying, and laid him down on his bed. 17:20 Then he called out to the Lord, “O Lord, my God, are you also bringing disaster on this widow I am staying with by killing her son?” 17:21 He stretched out over the boy three times and called out to the Lord, “O Lord, my God, please let this boy’s breath return to him.” 17:22 The Lord answered Elijah’s prayer; the boy’s breath returned to him and he lived. 17:23 Elijah took the boy, brought him down from the upper room to the house, and handed him to his mother. Elijah then said, “See, your son is alive!”

Private Prayer

6:5 “Whenever you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, because they love to pray while standing in synagogues ¹⁰  and on street corners so that people can see them. Truly I say to you, they have their reward. 6:6 But whenever you pray, go into your room, ¹¹  close the door, and pray to your Father in secret. And your Father, who sees in secret, will reward you. ¹² 

Acts 9:40

9:40 But Peter sent them all outside, ¹³  knelt down, ¹⁴  and prayed. Turning ¹⁵  to the body, he said, “Tabitha, get up.” Then she opened her eyes, and when she saw Peter, she sat up. ¹⁶ 

[17:2]  ¹ tn Heb “and the word of the Lord came to him, saying.”

[4:4]  ² tn Heb “was over.”

[4:5]  ³ tn Heb “was over.”

[4:5]  ⁴ tn Heb “close associate of”; KJV, ASV, NASB “the king’s friend” (a title for an adviser, not just an acquaintance).

[4:6]  ⁵ tn Heb “over the house.”

[4:6]  ⁶ tn Heb “was over.”

[4:6]  ⁷ sn The work crews. This Hebrew word (מַס, mas) refers to a group of laborers conscripted for royal or public service.

[4:34]  ⁸ tn Heb “the wisdom of Solomon.”

[42:2]  ⁹ tn Heb “he will not cause his voice to be heard in the street.”

[6:5]  ¹⁰ sn See the note on synagogues in 4:23.

[6:6]  ¹¹ sn The term translated room refers to the inner room of a house, normally without any windows opening outside, the most private location possible (BDAG 988 s.v. ταμεῖον 2).

[6:6]  ¹² tc See the tc note on “will reward you” in 6:4: The problem is the same and the ms support differs only slightly.

[9:40]  ¹³ tn Grk “Peter, sending them all outside, knelt down.” The participle ἐκβαλών (ekbalwn) has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.

[9:40]  ¹⁴ tn Grk “and kneeling down,” but καί (kai) has not been translated since English normally uses a coordinating conjunction only between the last two elements in a series of three or more. Instead the “and” is placed before the verb προσηύξατο (proshuxato, “and prayed”). The participle θείς (qeis) is taken as a participle of attendant circumstance.

[9:40]  ¹⁵ tn Grk “and turning.” Because of the length of the Greek sentence, the conjunction καί (kai) has not been translated here. Instead a new English sentence is begun.

[9:40]  ¹⁶ sn She sat up. This event is told much like Luke 8:49-56 and Mark 5:35-43. Peter’s ministry mirrored that of Jesus.
