Peter Raises Dorcas

"At Joppa there was a certain disciple name Tabitha, which is translated Dorcas.
This woman was full of good works and charitable deeds which she did.
But it happened in those days that she became sick and died.
When they had washed her, they laid her in an upper room..
And since Lydda was near Joppa, and the disciples had heard that Peter was there, they sent two men to him, imploring him not to delay in coming to them.

Then Peter arose and went with them.
When he had come, they brought him to the upper room.
And all the widows stood by him weeping, showing the tunics and garments which Dorcas had made while she was with them.
But Peter put them all out, and knelt down and prayed.

And turning to the body he said, 'Tabitha, arise.'

And she opened her eyes and when she saw Peter she sat up.
Then he gave her his hand and lifted her up; and when he had called the saints and widows, he presented her alive.
And it became known throughout all Joppa and many believed on the Lord."
Acts 9:36-42

When Dorcas died, two men were sent to Peter asking him to come.

The body would have to buried by the end of the day.
They expected Peter could do something, even in the short time.

Peter had expected that he could do something for her.

When Peter arrived, he cleared the room of unbelief.

Peter spoke to the body and called her by name telling her to arise.

When Dorcas opened her eyes and sat up, Peter took her by the hand and lifted her up.

Then He presented her to her friends.

Not only was she restored to life, she was restored to strength and arose and walked.
