³⁶ There was also a certain woman in Joppa, a disciple named Tabitha (which means ‘Dorcas’). She was full of good works and alms which she did.

³⁷ And it so happened in those days that she fell sick and died. And after they had washed her, they laid her in an upper room.

³⁸ Now since Lydda was near Joppa, and the disciples had heard that Peter was there, they sent two men to him, asking that he not delay in coming to them.
