[36] Now at Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha, which by interpretation is called Dorcas: this woman full of good works and almsdeeds which she did. [37] And it came to pass in those days, that she was sick, and died: whom when they had washed, they laid her in an upper chamber. [38] And Lydda was nigh to Joppa, and the disciples had heard that Peter there, they sent unto him two men, desiring not delay to come to them. [39] Then Peter arose and went with them. When he was come, they brought him into the upper chamber: and all the widows stood by him weeping, and shewing the coats and garments which Dorcas made, with them. [40] But Peter put them all forth, and kneeled down, and prayed; and turning him to the body said, Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes: and Peter, she sat up.
