In it were all kinds of quadrupeds and creeping things of the earth, and wild birds. A voice came to him, saying, "Rise, Peter, kill and eat." "Not so, my Lord," answered Peter, "for I have never yet eaten anything common and unclean." And again a second time came to him a voice, saying, "What God has cleansed you must not call common." This happened three times; and immediately the sail was drawn up into the sky. Now while Peter was greatly perplexed to know what the vision which he had been sent by Cornelius, and had made inquiries for the house of Simon, stood at the gate, and called and asked whether Simon who was called Peter was lodging there.

She, as it happened, was taken ill just at that time, and died. After washing her body, they laid it in an upper room. And as Lydda was near Joppa, the disciples, when they heard that Peter was there, sent two men to him with the entreaty, "Delay not to come to us." read more.
So Peter arose and went with them. On his arrival they took him up-stairs, and all the widows stood near him, weeping, and showing him the cloaks and garments which Dorcas used to make, while she was still with them. But Peter put them all out, and kneeled down, and prayed; and then turning to the body, he said, "Tabitha, rise!" She opened her eyes, and on seeing Peter she sat up. Then he gave her his hand and raised her up, and after calling the saints and the widows, he gave her back to them alive. This incident became known throughout Joppa, and many believed in the Lord. Peter stayed for some time in Joppa, lodging in the house of Simon, the tanner.
