Dorcas Restored to Life
36 Now there was in (A)Joppa a disciple named Tabitha, which, translated, means Dorcas.[a] She was full of (B)good works and acts of charity. 37 In those days she became ill and died, and when they had washed her, they laid her in (C)an upper room. 38 Since Lydda was near Joppa, the disciples, hearing that Peter was there, sent two men to him, urging him, (D)“Please come to us without delay.” 39 So Peter rose and went with them. And when he arrived, they took him to (E)the upper room. All the widows stood beside him weeping and showing tunics[b] and other garments that Dorcas made while she was with them. 40 But Peter (F)put them all outside, and (G)knelt down and prayed; and turning to the body (H)he said, “Tabitha, arise.” And she opened her eyes, and when she saw Peter she sat up. 41 And he gave her his hand and raised her up. Then, calling the saints and widows, he presented her alive.

(A)When he saw them, he ran from the tent door to meet them and bowed himself to the earth 3 and said, “O Lord,[a] if I have found favor in your sight, do not pass by your servant. 4 Let a (B)little water be brought, and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree, 5 while I bring a morsel of bread, that (C)you may refresh yourselves, and after that you may pass on—(D)since you have come to your servant.” So they said, “Do as you have said.” 6 And Abraham went quickly into the tent to Sarah and said, “Quick! Three seahs[b] of fine flour! Knead it, and make cakes.” 7 And Abraham ran to the herd and took a calf, tender and good, and gave it to a young man, who prepared it quickly. 8 Then he took curds and milk and the calf that he had prepared, and set it before them. And he stood by them under the tree while they ate.
