Helped her get up is “helped her stand up.”

The believers translates the same word as was translated God’s people in verse 32 (see also v. 13). The phrase the believers and the widows does not imply that the widows were not Christians (see 1.14 the women … and Mary; also Mark 16.7). In a number of languages one must indicate clearly the inclusion of “the widows” in the group of “believers,” therefore “the believers, including the widows.”
