All the widows stood by him weeping, and showing the coats and garments which Dorcas had made while she was with them. 009:040 Peter put them all out, and kneeled down and prayed. Turning to the body, he said, "Tabitha, get up!" She opened her eyes, and when she saw Peter, she sat up. 009:041 He gave her his hand, and raised her up. Calling the saints and widows, he presented her alive. 009:042 And it became known throughout all Joppa, and many believed in the Lord. 009:043 It happened, that he stayed many days in Joppa with one Simon, a tanner. 010:001 Now there was a certain man in Caesarea, Cornelius by name, a centurion of what was called the Italian Regiment, 010:002 a devout man, and one who feared God with all his house, who gave gifts for the needy generously to the people, and always prayed to God. 010:003 At about the ninth hour of the day{3:00 PM}, he clearly saw in a vision an angel of God coming to him, and saying to him, "Cornelius!" 010:004 He, fastening his eyes on him, and being frightened, said, "What is it, Lord?"
