Acts 9:36-43 - Dorcas Raised
36 Now in Joppa there was a certain female disciple {named} Tabitha (which translated means "Dorcas"). She was full of good deeds and charitable giving which she was constantly doing. 37 Now it happened that in those days [after] becoming sick, she died. And [after] washing [her], they placed her in an upstairs room. 38 And [because] Lydda was near Joppa, the disciples, [when they] heard that Peter was in {Lydda}, sent two men to him, urging, "Do not delay to come to us!" 39 So Peter got up [and] accompanied them. [When he] arrived, they brought [him] up to the upstairs room, and all the widows came to him, weeping and showing [him] tunics and [other] clothing that Dorcas used to make [while she] was with them. 40 But Peter sent [them] all outside, and, falling to [his] knees, he prayed. And turning toward the body, he said, "Tabitha, get up!" And she opened her eyes, and [when she] saw Peter, she sat up. 41 And he gave her [his] hand [and] raised her up. And he called the saints and the widows [and] presented her alive. 42 And it became known throughout all Joppa, and many believed in the Lord. 43 And it happened that [he] stayed many days in Joppa with a certain Simon, a tanner.
