Dorcas Raised
36Now in Joppa there was a certain female disciple namedo Tabitha (which translated means “Dorcas”).p She was full of good deeds and charitable giving which she was constantly doing.* 37Now it happened that in those days after* becoming sick, she died. And after* washing her,* they placed her in an upstairs room. 38And because* Lydda was near Joppa, the disciples, when they* heard that Peter was in Lydda,q sent two men to him, urging, “Do not delay to come to us!” 39So 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. 40But 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. 41And he gave her his hand and* raised her up. And he called the saints and the widows and* presented her alive. 42And it became known throughout all Joppa, and many believed in the Lord.
