“Peter, please come with us! Dorcas, our friend, has died.” Responding to the need, Peter went with the two men to Joppa. There, in an upper room of a house, lay Dorcas, surrounded by crying widows along with items she had made for the poor. After sending everybody from the room, Peter knelt and prayed and then spoke her name, “Dorcas, get up!” She opened her eyes and seeing Peter, she sat up. Peter took her hand and led her out to the waiting widows and believers. Word of the miracle spread through the town of Joppa and many people became believers.
