As Lydda was near Joppa, the disciples, hearing that Peter was there, sent two men to him, imploring him not to delay in coming to them.
39
Peter got up and went with them. When he had come, they brought him into the upper chamber. All the widows stood by him weeping, and showing the coats and garments which Dorcas made while she was with them.
40
Peter put them all out, and kneeled down and prayed. Turning to the body, he said, "Tabitha, get up!" She opened her eyes, and when she saw Peter, she sat up.
41
He gave her his hand, and raised her up. Calling the saints and widows, he presented her alive.
42
It became known throughout all Joppa, and many believed in the Lord.
43
It happened, that he stayed many days in Joppa with one Simon, a tanner.
