Acts 9:37-43 ▼

37 But in those days it came to pass that having become sick, she died. And having washed her, they put her in an upper room.

38 Now Lydda being near Joppa, the disciples, having heard that Peter is in it, sent two men to him, imploring, “Do not delay to come to us.”

39 And Peter, having risen up, went with them, who, having arrived, brought him into the upper room. And all the widows stood by him, weeping and showing the tunics and garments that Dorcas had made while being with them.

40 And Peter, having put all outside and having bowed the knees, prayed. And having turned to the body he said, “Tabitha, arise!” And she opened her eyes, and having seen Peter, she sat up.

41 And having given her his hand, he raised her up. And having called the saints and the widows, he presented her being alive.

42 And it became known throughout all of Joppa, and many believed on the Lord.

43 And it came to pass that he stayed many days in Joppa with a certain Simon, a tanner.
