Acts 9:36-38

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.
