Acts 9:36-38

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

³⁶ Now there was at Joppa a disciple [a woman] named [in Aramaic] Tabitha, which [in Greek] means Dorcas. She was abounding in good deeds and acts of charity.

³⁷ About that time she fell sick and died, and when they had cleansed her, they laid [her] in an upper room.

³⁸ Since Lydda was near Joppa [however], the disciples, hearing that Peter was there, sent two men to him begging him, Do come to us without delay.
