<p>5:6 <i>And the young men arose and wrapped him up</i>- Perhaps a technical term referring to a group of young men who did the practical things in the church. Paul refers to a similar group when he writes of &quot;the messengers of the churches&quot; (2 Cor. 8:23).</p><p><i>And they carried him out and buried him</i>- A fairly rare word is used for &ldquo;carried&rdquo;, occurring only 7 times in the New Testament, three of them here in this incident (:6,9,10). It cannot surely be insignificant that the word is used again in such close proximity to this incident, in describing the result of it- the sick were &quot;carried out&quot; and placed at Peter's feet (:15 s.w.), so close to him that the shadow cast by his body fell on them. Being carried to the feet of Peter might seem a risky undertaking, given what he had done. But here we behold both the goodness and severity of God. The harder side of God attracts; when His judgments are in the earth, then and thereby shall men come to Him. The judgment of Ananias and Sapphira at the hands of Peter did not drive people away; rather did it bring people closer to Peter and the Lord he represented. This is why &quot;judgment to come&quot; is part of the Gospel message; a vaguely defined message of a fuzzy love and candy for the kids will not of itself be attractive to people. There is another side to life, to God and to His Son; and every human being subconsciously knows that. And directly engaging with it, and finding that through all that, God is love... is what makes the Gospel so compelling, and what reached to the very soul of even Felix and almost persuaded Agrippa to be a Christian (Acts 24:25; 26:28).</p>
