Acts 9:36-41

36NowG1161 in 1JoppaG2445 there was a discipleG3102 namedG3686 TabithaG5000 (whichG3739 translatedG1329 in Greek is calledG3004 2DorcasG1393); thisG3778 womanG3778 was aboundingG4134 with deedsG2041 of kindnessG18 and charityG1654 whichG3739 she continually didG4160.

37And it happenedG1096 3at that timeG2250 that she fellG770 sickG770 and diedG599; and when they had washedG3068 her body, they laidG5087 it in an 4upperG5253 roomG5253.

38Since LyddaG3069 was nearG1451 5JoppaG2445, 6the disciplesG3101, having heardG191 that PeterG4074 was thereG1722 G846, sentG649 twoG1417 menG435 to him, imploringG3870 him, “Do not delayG3635 in comingG1330 to us.”

39SoG1161 PeterG4074 aroseG450 and wentG4905 with them. WhenG3854 he arrivedG3854, they broughtG321 him into the 7upperG5253 roomG5253; and allG3956 the 8widowsG5503 stoodG3936 besideG3936 him, weepingG2799 and showingG1925 allG3745 the 9tunicsG5509 and garmentsG2440 that DorcasG1393 used to makeG4160 whileG3745 she was with them.

40But PeterG4074 10sentG1544 them allG3956 out and 11kneltG1119 G5087 downG5087 G1119 and prayedG4336, and turningG1994 to the bodyG4983, he saidG3004, “12TabithaG5000, ariseG450.” And she openedG455 her eyesG3788, and when she sawG3708 PeterG4074, she satG339 up.

41And he gaveG1325 her his handG5495 and raisedG450 her up; and callingG5455 13the 14saintsG40 and 15widowsG5503, he presentedG3936 her aliveG2198.
