Acts 9:36-43
36Now there was at Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha, which when translated, means Dorcas. This woman was full of good works and acts of mercy which she did.
37It happened in those days that she fell sick, and died. When they had washed her, they laid her in an upper chamber.
38As 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.
39Peter 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.
40Peter 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.
41He gave her his hand, and raised her up. Calling the saints and widows, he presented her alive.
42It became known throughout all Joppa, and many believed in the Lord.
43It happened, that he stayed many days in Joppa with one Simon, a tanner.
