Acts 9:37-39

Expanded Bible

³⁷ ·While Peter was in Lydda [^LIn those days], Tabitha became sick and died. Her body was washed [^Ca custom of preparation for burial] and put in a room upstairs. ³⁸ Since Lydda is near Joppa and the ·followers [disciples] in Joppa heard that Peter was in Lydda, they sent two ·messengers [^Lmen] to Peter. They begged him, “Hurry, please come to us!” ³⁹ So Peter got ·ready [^Lup] and went with them. When he arrived, they took him to the upstairs room where all the widows stood around Peter, crying. They showed him the ·shirts [tunics] and coats [clothing; garments; robes] ·Tabitha [^LDorcas] had made when she was ·still alive [^Lwith them].
