36 Now in Joppa there was a certain female disciple named Tabitha – which, being translated, is normally called Dorcas (= Gazelle). She was full of good works and noble, virtuous acts – as well as deeds of mercy and gifts of compassion – which she was habitually doing.
37 But in those days, after becoming weak and ill, she happened to die. So, upon washing (bathing) [her], they placed her in the upper room (or: story; chamber).
38 Now with Lydda being near to Joppa, the disciples – upon hearing that Peter was in [Lydda] – sent off two adult men to him, calling [him] to their side for help, urging, "You should not delay or be slow to pass through to us (or: hesitate to come through as far as us; = include us in your travels, and don't delay)!"
39 So after arising, Peter went with them, whom – upon [his] arriving – they led up into the upper room (or: the upstairs chamber). Then all the widows presented [themselves] to him and stood by, weeping and exhibiting tunics and outer garments (= dresses and coats) [and] whatever Dorcas used to make [while] still being with them.
40 But after causing everyone to be put forth outside and then kneeling down, Peter prayed (thought and focused toward well-being). Next, turning around and facing toward the body, he said, "Tabitha! Get up (or: Stand up; Arise)!" So she opened up her eyes, and, seeing Peter, she sat up.
41 And so, giving her a hand, he raised her up (or: helped her stand up). And now, after summoning the set-apart folks (the saints; the holy people) and the widows, he stood her alongside (or: presented her), now living.
