* At Joppa there was a certain disciple named Tabitha , which is translated Dorcas . This woman was full of good works and charitable deeds which she did . * But it happened in those days that she became sick and died . When they had washed her , they laid her in an upper room . * And since Lydda was near Joppa , and the disciples had heard that Peter was there , they sent two men to him , imploring him not to delay in coming to them . * Then Peter arose and went with them . When he had come , they brought him to the upper room . And all the widows stood by him weeping , showing the tunics and garments which Dorcas had made while she was with them . * But Peter put them all out , and knelt down and prayed . And turning to the body he said , "Tabitha , arise ." And she opened her eyes , and when she saw Peter she sat up . * Then he gave her his hand and lifted her up ; and when he had called the saints and widows , he presented her alive . * And it became known throughout all Joppa , and many believed on the Lord . * So it was that he stayed many days in Joppa with Simon , a tanner .
