Dorcas Restored to Life
36 At Joppa there was a certain disciple named1 Tabitha, which is translated Dorcas. This woman was full aof good works and charitable deeds which she did.
37 But it happened in those days that she became sick and died. When they had washed her, they laid her in aan upper room.
All that dwelt in Lydda and Saron saw him - Saron was that champaign country that lay between Joppa and Lydda. The long affliction of this man had been well known; and his cure, consequently, became a subject of general examination: it was found to be real. It was known to have been performed by the grace and mercy of Christ; and the consequence of all this conviction was that all these people became Christians.
