Acts 9:36-43

Revised Geneva Translation

³⁶ There was also a certain woman in Joppa, a disciple named Tabitha (which means ‘Dorcas’). She was full of good works and alms which she did.

³⁷ And it so happened in those days that she fell sick and died. And after they had washed her, they laid her in an upper room.

³⁸ Now since Lydda was near Joppa, and the disciples had heard that Peter was there, they sent two men to him, asking that he not delay in coming to them.

³⁹ Then Peter arose and came with them. And when he had come, they brought him into the upper room, where all the weeping widows stood by him and showed him the coats and garments which Dorcas had made while she was with them.

⁴⁰ But Peter put them all out; and kneeled down, and prayed, and turned to the body, and said, “Tabitha, arise.” And she opened her eyes. And when she saw Peter, she sat up.

⁴¹ Then he gave her his hand and lifted her up, and called the saints and widows, and presented her alive.

⁴² And it was known throughout all Joppa. And many believed in the Lord.

⁴³ And it so happened that he stayed in Joppa many days with one Simon, a tanner.
