- In Joppa there was a disciple named Tabitha (which, when translated, is Dorcas), who was always doing good and helping the poor.
- About that time she became sick and died, and her body was washed and placed in an upstairs room.
- Lydda was near Joppa; so when the disciples heard that Peter was in Lydda, they sent two men to him and urged him, "Please come at once!"
- Peter went with them, and when he arrived he was taken upstairs to the room. All the widows stood around him, crying and showing him the robes and other clothing that Dorcas had made while she was still with them.
- Peter sent them all out of the room; then he got down on his knees and prayed. Turning toward the dead woman, he said, "Tabitha, get up." She opened her eyes, and seeing Peter she sat up.

- 在約帕有一個女徒、名叫大比大、繙希利尼話、就是多加.〔多加就是羚羊的意思〕他廣行善事、多施賙濟。
- 當時、他患病而死.有人把他洗了、停在樓上。
- 呂大原與約帕相近.門徒聽見彼得在那裡、就打發兩個人去見他、央求他說、快到我們那裡去、不要耽延。
- 彼得就起身和他們同去.到了、便有人領他上樓.眾寡婦都站在彼得旁邊哭、拿多加與他們同在時、所做的裡衣外衣給他看。
- 彼得叫他們都出去、就跪下禱告、轉身對著死人說、大比大、起來、他就睜開眼睛、見了彼得、便坐起來。
