‏ Acts 9:37

 In an upper chamber ( εν υπερωιω ). See on 1:13. Also in verse 39. In that house. This service was rendered by the women, though Luke has  λουσαντες (masculine plural aorist active participle of  λουω ), a general way of saying "they washed." The interment was not hurried as in Jerusalem (Ananias and Sapphira) and the upper room is where the body was usually placed.
