Acts 9:36-38

36Now there was at Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha, who by interpretation is called Dorcas: this woman was full of good works and almsdeeds which she did.1 37And it came to pass in those days, that she was sick, and died: whom when they had washed, they laid in an upper chamber. 38And as Lydda was near to Joppa, and the disciples had heard that Peter was there, they sent to him two men, desiring him that he would not delay to come to them.2
