Acts 9:32-41

32Now it came to pass that Peter, passing through all [quarters], descended also to the saints who inhabited Lydda.

33And he found there a certain man, Aeneas by name, who had been lying for eight years upon a couch, who was paralysed.

34And Peter said to him, Aeneas, Jesus, the Christ, heals thee: rise up, and make thy couch for thyself. And straightway he rose up.

35And all who inhabited Lydda and the Saron saw him, who turned to the Lord.

36And in Joppa there was a certain female disciple, by name Tabitha, which being interpreted means Dorcas. She was full of good works and alms-deeds which she did.

37And it came to pass in those days that she grew sick and died; and, having washed her, they put her in [the] upper room.

38But Lydda being near to Joppa, the disciples having heard that Peter was there, sent two men to him, beseeching him, Thou must not delay coming to us.

39And Peter rising up went with them, whom, when arrived, they brought up into the upper chamber; and all the widows stood by him weeping and shewing him the body-coats and garments which Dorcas had made while she was with them.

40But Peter, putting them all out, and kneeling down, prayed. And, turning to the body, he said, Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes, and, seeing Peter, sat up.

41And having given her [his] hand, he raised her up, and having called the saints and the widows, presented her living.
