Acts of the Apostles

All who lived at Lydda and in Sharon saw him, and they turned to the Lord.

Now there was at Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha, which when translated, means Dorcas. This woman was full of good works and acts of mercy which she did.

It happened in those days that she fell sick, and died. When they had washed her, they laid her in an upper chamber.
