Raise is a transitive verb and hence has an object, as in
He raised the cup to his lips.
Ele levou a xícara aos lábios.
He rose from his chair.
Ele se levantou da cadeira.
Raise is frequently misused for rise, as in
He raised to one elbow.
He raised himself to one elbow is correct, since the reflexive pronoun himself is provided as an object for raised.
