As Lydda was near Joppa, the disciples, hearing that Peter was there, sent two men to him, imploring him not to delay in coming to them.
Peter got up and went with them.
When he had come, they brought him into the upper room.
All the widows stood by him weeping, and showing the tunics and other garments which Dorcas had made while she was with them.
Peter sent them all out, and knelt down and prayed.
Turning to the body, he said, “Tabitha, get up!”
She opened her eyes, and when she saw Peter, she sat up.
