ἐπίστευσαν πολλοὶ with אABCE. Vulg. ‘crediderunt multi.’

42. καθ' ὅλης τῆς Ἰόππης. See above, Acts 9:31, note.

καὶ ἐπίστευσαν πολλοὶ ἐπὶ τὸν κύριον, and many believed on the Lord. There seems to be intended by these words a fuller acceptance of the faith of Jesus than when it is said ‘they turned to the Lord’ (see above, Acts 9:35). The belief here wrought by the resurrection of Dorcas is like that mentioned (John 11:45) of those who were won to the faith by the raising of Lazarus.
