)And all who dwelt at Lydda and Saron saw him, and they
turned to the Lord.

(36)But there was at Joppa a woman, a disciple, named Tabitha, (which
by interpretation is called Dorcas:) this woman was full of good works
and of alms which she did. (37)But it came to pass that in those days
she sickened and died: having then washed her, they laid her out in an
upper room. (38)And as Lydda was near to Joppa, the disciples hearing
that Peter was there, sent two men to him, entreating him without delay
to come over to them. (39)Then Peter arose and went with them. And they
carried him, on his arrival, into the upper room: and all the widows
stood round him weeping, and shewing the coats and garments which
Dorcas had made, whilst she was with them. (40)But Peter putting them
all out, fell upon his knees, and prayed; and turning to the body,

inquire for Simon, who is surnamed Peter: (6)he lodgeth with one Simon
a tanner, whose house is near the sea: this man will tell thee what
thou must do. (7)But when the angel departed who spake to Cornelius, he
called two of his domestics, and a pious soldier, persons who
constantly were in attendance upon him; (8)and relating all things to
them, sent them to Joppa.

(9)Then the next morning, as they were on their journey, and drew near
to the city, Peter went up to the flat roof to pray about the sixth
hour: (10)and he grew very hungry, and desired something to eat: but
whilst they were getting it ready, a sacred ecstacy fell upon him.
