Acts 9

Peter raises Dorcas

36 Now there was a certain disciple in Joppa named Tabitha, which is translated Dorcas. This woman was full of good works and charitable deeds that she kept doing. 37 But it happened in those days that she took sick and died; so when they had washed her they placed her in the upper room.*The upper room of her house; she was presumably reasonably well off. 38 Now Lydda was near Joppa; the disciples, having heard that Peter was there, sent to him imploring him not to delay in coming to them. 39 So Peter got up and went with them; upon arriving they took him up to the upper room; all the widows stood around him weeping and showing the coats and garments that Dorcas was making*That is what the Text says; I get the impression that Dorcas used a production line method, and left a variety of unfinished garments. while she was with them.
