40. Peter sent everyone out of the room. He kneeled and prayed. Then he turned to the body and said, “Tabitha, stand up!” She opened her eyes, and when she saw Peter, she sat up.
41. He gave her his hand and helped her up. Then he called the believers and the widows into the room. He showed them Tabitha; she was alive!
42. People everywhere in Joppa learned about this, and many believed in the Lord.
43. Peter stayed in Joppa for many days with a man named Simon who was a leatherworker.
