36 Now, in Joppa, there was a certain female disciple, by name Tabitha, which, being translated, means Dorcas . The same, was full of good works and alms which she was doing.37 And it came to pass in those days, that she, sickening, died; and, bathing her, they laid her in an upper room.38 Now, Lydda being nigh unto Joppa, the disciples, hearing that Peter was therein, sent off two men unto him, beseeching himDo not delay to come through unto us!39 And Peter, arising, went with them,whom, when he arrived, they brought up into the upper room; and there stood by him all the widows, weeping, and showing the tunics and mantleswhatsoever things Dorcas was making while she was with them.
