Mace⁽ⁱ⁾ ³⁶ At Joppa there was a disciple named Tabitha, that is in Greek, Dorcas: this woman was very active in all the offices of benevolence and charity. ³⁷ she happen'd to fall sick at that time, and died: after they had bath'd her body, they laid her out in an upper chamber. ³⁸ as Lydda was near Joppa, and the disciples having heard that Peter was there, they sent two men to him to desire he would come to them without delay. ³⁹ Peter immediately went with them, and when he was come, they conducted him to the upper chamber: and all the widows advanc'd to him weeping, and shew'd the robes and garments which Dorcas made while she was with them. ⁴⁰ but Peter turn'd them all out, and kneeled down and prayed, then turning towards the body, Tabitha, said he, arise immediately. she opened her eyes: and when she saw Peter, she sat up. ⁴¹ Peter lent her his hand, and lift her up; and having called the saints and widows, he presented her alive.
