ExplanationCommentary
Verse 26. Him whom the devil had made like to the dead, the goodness of Christ, by his charitable touch, restored to life. Thus proving at once both his divinity and humanity; the former by his wonderful cure of healing, and the latter by performing this cure by a touch of the hand. Ven. Bede.—The devil could not inflict a real death on the child, on account of the dissent of the Author of life. Saint John Chrysostom
