First Reading Acts 9:36-43
A woman who was a follower lived in the city of Joppa. Her name was Tabitha, or
Dorcas. She did many good things and many acts of kindness. 37 One day she became sick and died. After they had washed her body, they laid her in a room on the
second floor. 38 The city of Lydda was near Joppa. The followers heard that Peter
was at Lydda and sent two men to ask him to come at once. 39 Peter went back with
them. When he came, they took him to the room. All the women whose husbands
had died were standing around crying. They were showing the clothes Dorcas had
made while she was with them.
40 Peter made them all leave the room. Then he got down on his knees and prayed.
He turned to her body and said, “Tabitha, get up!” She opened her eyes and looked
5
at Peter and sat up. 41 He took her by the hand and lifted her up. Then he called in the
faithful followers and the women whose husbands had died. He gave her to them, a living person.
42 News of this went through all Joppa. Many people put their trust in the Lord. 43 After
this, Peter stayed in Joppa many days in the house of Simon who worked with leather.
