Acts 9:36-38

New Catholic Bible

³⁶ Peter Restores Tabitha to Life. In Joppa, there was a disciple named Tabitha, or Dorcas in Greek, whose life was devoted to performing good works and giving to those in need. ³⁷ In those days, she became ill and died. After they had washed her body, they laid her out in an upper room.^{[a] 38} Since Lydda was near Joppa, the disciples, on hearing that Peter was there, sent two men to him with the request, “Please come to us without delay.”
