riversident - Acts:9:36-43

riversident@Acts:9:36 @ In Joppa there was a disciple named Tabitha (note:)in Greek Dorcas, Gazelle(:note). She abounded in good works and acts of kindness which she was accustomed to do.

riversident@Acts:9:37 @ It happened at that time that she fell sick and died. They bathed her and laid her out in an upper room.

riversident@Acts:9:38 @ Since Lydda was near to Joppa and the disciples had heard that Peter was there, they sent two men to him begging him, "Do not delay to come on down to us."

riversident@Acts:9:39 @ Peter arose and went along with them. On his arrival they took him up to the room. All of the widows came around him wailing and showing the tunics and cloaks that Dorcas had made while she was with them.

riversident@Acts:9:40 @ Peter sent them all out and kneeling down he prayed. Then turning to the body he said, "Tabitha, rise." She opened her eyes, and seeing Peter she sat up.

riversident@Acts:9:41 @ Giving her his hand he raised her to her feet. Then calling the holy and the widows he presented her to them alive.

riversident@Acts:9:42 @ This became known through all Joppa and many believed in the Lord.

riversident@Acts:9:43 @ Peter stayed in Joppa many days with a man named Simon, a tanner.
