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.
