Acts 9:36-38

36In Joppa there was a disciple named Tabitha (which is translated as Dorcas),1 who was always occupied with works of kindness and charity. 37At that time, however, she became sick and died, and her body was washed and placed in an upper room. 38Since Lydda was near Joppa, the disciples, hearing that Peter was there, sent two men to urge him, “Come to us without delay.”
