Acts 9:38-40

Expanded Bible

³⁸ Since Lydda is near Joppa and the ·followers [disciples] in Joppa heard that Peter was in Lydda, they sent two ·messengers [^Lmen] to Peter. They begged him, “Hurry, please come to us!” ³⁹ So Peter got ·ready [^Lup] and went with them. When he arrived, they took him to the upstairs room where all the widows stood around Peter, crying. They showed him the ·shirts [tunics] and coats [clothing; garments; robes] ·Tabitha [^LDorcas] had made when she was ·still alive [^Lwith them]. ⁴⁰ Peter sent everyone out of the room and kneeled and prayed. Then he turned to the body and said, “Tabitha, stand up.” She opened her eyes, and when she saw Peter, she sat up.
