³⁵ All those who lived in Lydda and Sharon^(A) saw him and turned to the Lord.^(B)

³⁶ In Joppa^(C) there was a disciple named Tabitha (in Greek her name is Dorcas); she was always doing good^(D) and helping the poor.

³⁹ Peter went with them, and when he arrived he was taken upstairs to the room. All the widows^(A) stood around him, crying and showing him the robes and other clothing that Dorcas had made while she was still with them.

⁴⁰ Peter sent them all out of the room;^(B) then he got down on his knees^(C) and prayed. Turning toward the dead woman, he said, “Tabitha, get up.”^(D) She opened her eyes, and seeing Peter she sat up. ⁴¹ He took her by the hand and helped her to her feet. Then he called for the believers, especially the widows, and presented her to them alive.
