Acts 9:36-42

New American Standard Bible

³⁶ Now in ^(A)Joppa there was a disciple named Tabitha (which when translated means ^[a]Dorcas); this woman was ^[b]excelling in acts of kindness and charity which she did habitually. ³⁷ But it happened ^[c]at that time that she became sick and died; and when they had washed her body, they laid it in an ^(B)upstairs room. ³⁸ Since Lydda was near ^(C)Joppa, ^(D)the disciples, having heard that Peter was there, sent two men to him, urging him, “Do not delay in coming to us.” ³⁹ So Peter got ready and went with them. When he arrived, they brought him into the ^(E)room upstairs; and all the ^(F)widows stood beside him, weeping and showing all the ^[d]tunics and garments that Dorcas used to make while she was with them. ⁴⁰ But Peter ^(G)sent them all out and ^(H)knelt down and prayed, and turning to the body, he said, “^(I)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; and calling ^(J)the ^[e]saints and ^(K)widows, he presented her alive. ⁴² It became known all over ^(L)Joppa, and ^(M)many believed in the Lord.
