Acts of the Apostles 9:40

In context

38Since Lydda is near Joppa, the disciples heard that Peter was there and sent two men to him, urging him, “Come to us without delay.” 39Peter got up and went with them. When he arrived they took him up to the room, and all the widows stood around him, weeping and showing him the tunics and coats that Dorcas had made while she was with them. 40Peter sent them all out, knelt down and prayed. Then he turned to the body and said, “Tabitha, get up.” She opened her eyes, and when she saw Peter she sat up. 41He gave her his hand and helped her to her feet; then he called the saints and the widows and presented her alive. 42Word of it spread through the whole of Joppa, and many believed in the Lord.
