Acts 9:38 in Context — Acts 9
36 Il y avait à Joppé, parmi les disciples, une femme nommée Tabitha, ce qui signifie Dorcas: elle faisait beaucoup de bonnes œuvres et d’aumônes.
37 Elle tomba malade en ce temps-là, et mourut. Après l’avoir lavée, on la déposa dans une chambre haute.
38 Comme Lydde est près de Joppé, les disciples, ayant appris que Pierre s’y trouvait, envoyèrent deux hommes vers lui, pour le prier de venir chez eux sans tarder.
39 Pierre se leva, et partit avec ces hommes. Lorsqu’il fut arrivé, on le conduisit dans la chambre haute. Toutes les veuves l’entourèrent en pleurant, et lui montrèrent les tuniques et les vêtements que faisait Dorcas pendant qu’elle était avec elles.
40 Pierre fit sortir tout le monde, se mit à genoux, et pria; puis, se tournant vers le corps, il dit: Tabitha, lève-toi! Elle ouvrit les yeux, et ayant vu Pierre, elle s’assit.
