38. Since Lydda was near Joppa, the disciples, having heard that Peter was there, sent two men to him, imploring him, "Do not delay in coming to us."
39. So Peter arose and went with them. When he arrived, they brought him into the upper room; and all the widows stood beside him, weeping and showing all the tunics and garments that Dorcas used to make while she was with them.
40. But Peter sent 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.
41. And he gave her his hand and raised her up; and calling the saints and widows, he presented her alive.
42. It became known all over Joppa, and many believed in the Lord.
43. And Peter stayed many days in Joppa with a tanner named Simon.
