Acts 9:36-43
The Raising of Tabitha

36 Now there was at Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha, which by interpretation is called Dorcas: this woman was full of good works and almsdeeds which she did.

36:

37 And it came to pass in those days, that she was sick, and died: whom when they had washed, they laid [her] in an upper chamber.

37:

38 And forasmuch as Lydda was nigh to Joppa, and the disciples had heard that Peter was there, they sent unto him two men, desiring [him] that he would not delay to come to them.

38:

39 Then Peter arose and went with them. When he was come, they brought him into the upper chamber: and all the widows stood by him weeping, and shewing the coats and garments which Dorcas made, while she was with them.

39:

40 But Peter put them all forth, and kneeled down, and prayed; and turning [him] to the body said, Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes: and when she saw Peter, she sat up.

40:

41 And he gave her [his] hand, and lifted her up, and when he had called the saints and widows, presented her alive.

41:

42 And it was known throughout all Joppa; and many believed in the Lord.

42:

43 And it came to pass, that he tarried many days in Joppa with one Simon a tanner.

43:
