Acts 9:38-41

³⁸Joppa was near Lydda, and the people in Joppa that followed Jesus heard that Peter was in Lydda. So they sent 2 men to Lydda and they asked him, “Please come to Joppa with us right now.”

³⁹So Peter went with those 2 men. After he got there the Christians took him to the house and then they all went upstairs. They stood there with Peter, and the widows cried and showed him the shirts and other clothes that Dorcas made for them while she was still alive.

⁴⁰Peter told everyone to go outside. Then he got down on his knees, to show respect to God, and he prayed, then he turned and looked at the body, and said, “Tabitha, get up.” She opened her eyes, then she saw Peter and sat up.

⁴¹Peter held out his hand for her and helped her to stand up. Then he called God’s people and the widows to come, and he showed them that Tabitha was alive.
