37And it came about, in those days, that she got ill and came to her death: and when she had been washed, they put her in a room which was high up.
38And because Lydda was near Joppa, the disciples, having knowledge that Peter was there, sent two men to him, requesting him to come to them straight away.
39And Peter went with them. And when he had come, they took him into the room: and all the widows were there, weeping and putting before him the coats and clothing which Dorcas had made while she was with them.
40But Peter made them all go outside, and went down on his knees in prayer; and turning to the body, he said, Tabitha, get up. And, opening her eyes, she saw Peter and got up.
41And he took her hand, lifting her up; and, sending for the saints and widows, he gave her to them, living.
42And news of it went all through Joppa, and a number of people had faith in the Lord.
43And he was living in Joppa for some time with Simon, a leather-worker.
