Dorcas Restored to Life

Acts 9

³⁶ Now there was in _m Joppa a disciple named Tabitha, which, translated, means Dorcas. ₁ She was full of _n 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 _o an upper room. ³⁸ Since Lydda was near Joppa, the disciples, hearing that Peter was there, sent two men to him, urging him, _p "Please come to us without delay." ³⁹ So Peter rose and went with them. And when he arrived, they took him to _q the upper room. All the widows stood beside him weeping and showing tunics ₂ and other garments that Dorcas made while she was with them. ⁴⁰ But Peter _r put them all outside, and _s knelt down and prayed; and turning to the body _t 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. ⁴² And it became known throughout all Joppa, and _u many believed in the Lord. ⁴³ And he stayed in Joppa for many days _v with one Simon, a tanner.
