Dorcas Raised
36 Now in Joppa there was a certain female disciple named[a] Tabitha (which translated means “Dorcas”).[b] She was full of good deeds and charitable giving which she was constantly doing.[c] 37 Now it happened that in those days after[d] becoming sick, she died. And after[e] washing her,[f] they placed her in an upstairs room. 38 And because[g] Lydda was near Joppa, the disciples, when they[h] heard that Peter was in Lydda,[i] sent two men to him, urging, “Do not delay to come to us!” 39 So Peter got up and[j] accompanied them. When he[k] arrived, they brought him[l] up to the upstairs room, and all the widows came to him, weeping and showing him[m] tunics and other clothing that Dorcas used to make while she[n] was with them. 40 But Peter sent them all outside, and, falling to his[o] knees, he prayed. And turning toward the body, he said, “Tabitha, get up!” And she opened her eyes, and when she[p] saw Peter, she sat up. 41 And he gave her his hand and[q] raised her up. And he called the saints and the widows and[r] 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.[s]
