Acts 9:38-40

The Voice

³⁸ They had heard Peter was nearby, so two of them went with an urgent message, “Please come to Joppa as soon as possible.”

³⁹ Peter went with them and immediately entered the room where the corpse had been placed. It was quite a scene—the widows of the community were crowded in the room, weeping, showing the various items of clothing that Dorcas had made for them.

⁴⁰ Peter asked them to leave the room; then he got on his knees. He prayed for a while and then turned to her body.

She opened her eyes, saw Peter, and sat up.
