Acts 20:12

Young man. Gr. pais, a word that normally means “child,” but which could also refer to a young person, and, indeed, to a slave of any age. The “young man” here was probably adolescent or slightly older (see on v. 9).

Alive. There would be no reason to use this word if “taken up dead” (v. 9) did not signify an actual death. It is obvious that Luke the physician is narrating a miracle of restoration of life to one dead.

Not a little comforted. This expression is negative for emphasis, that is, they “were greatly comforted.”
