40 Peter made everyone leave the room.He knelt and prayed. Then he turned toward the body and said, “Tabitha, get up!”Tabitha opened her eyes, saw Peter, and sat up.
41 Peter took her hand and helped her stand up. After he called the believers, especially the widows, he presented Tabitha to them. She was alive.
42 The news about this spread throughout the city of Joppa, and as a result, many people believed in the Lord.
43 Peter stayed in Joppa for a number of days with Simon, a leatherworker.
