37 And it happened that, in those days, she became ill and died. And when they had washed her, they laid her in an upper room.
38 Now since Lydda was close to Joppa, the disciples, upon hearing that Peter was there, sent two men to him, asking him: "Do not be slow in coming to us."
39 Then Peter, rising up, went with them. And when he had arrived, they led him to an upper room. And all the widows were standing around him, weeping and showing him the tunics and garments that Dorcas had made for them.
40 And when they had all been sent outside, Peter, kneeling down, prayed. And turning to the body, he said: "Tabitha, arise." And she opened her eyes and, upon seeing Peter, sat up again.
41 And offering her his hand, he lifted her up. And when he had called in the saints and the widows, he presented her alive.
42 Now this became known throughout all of Joppa. And many believed in the Lord.
43 And it happened that he resided for many days in Joppa, with a certain Simon, a tanner.
