Acts 9:36-38

The Voice

³⁶ In a nearby coastal city, Joppa, there lived a disciple whose Aramaic name was Tabitha, or Dorcas in Greek. She was a good woman—devotedly doing good and giving to the poor. ³⁷ While Peter was in Lydda, she fell sick and died. Her fellow disciples washed her body and laid her in an upstairs room. ³⁸ They had heard Peter was nearby, so two of them went with an urgent message, “Please come to Joppa as soon as possible.”
