Acts 9 - Revised Standard Version(RSVCI)

1 She was full of good works and acts of charity.

37In those days she fell sick and died; and when they had washed her, they laid her in an upper room.

38Since Lydda was near Joppa, the disciples, hearing that Peter was there, sent two men to him entreating him, “Please come to us without delay.”

39So Peter rose and went with them. And when he had come, they took him to the upper room. All the widows stood beside him weeping, and showing tunics and other garments which Dorcas made while she was with them.

40But Peter put them all outside and knelt down and prayed; then turning to the body he said, “Tabitha, rise.” And she opened her eyes, and when she saw Peter she sat up.

41And he gave her his hand and lifted her up. Then calling the saints and widows he presented her alive.

42And it became known throughout all Joppa, and many believed in the Lord.

43And he stayed in Joppa for many days with one Simon, a tanner.
