Acts 9:39-41

The Voice

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. ⁴¹ Giving her his hand, Peter lifted her up. Then he called in the other disciples—including the widows—and reintroduced them to their beloved friend.
