40
But Peter 6put them all outside, and 7knelt down and prayed; and turning to the body 8he said, "Tabitha, arise." And she opened her eyes, and when she saw Peter she sat up.
41
And he gave her his hand and raised her up. Then calling the saints and widows, he presented her alive.

And it became known throughout all Joppa, and 9many believed in the Lord.
43
And he stayed in Joppa for many days 10with one Simon, a tanner.
