Dorcas--or Tabitha--was a disciple who was well regarded as a person who was always doing good and helping those in need. She became sick and died and all around people mourned for her. Peter was called and after seeing Dorcas' body, he prayed and commanded her to get up. She did and the story was spread throughout the land and many people believed in the LORD because of it.
