Get up and make your bed,” and immediately he got up.So all who lived in Lydda and Sharon saw him and turned to the Lord.In Joppa there was a disciple named Tabitha( which is translated Dorcas). She was always doing good works and acts of charity.About that time she became sick and died. After washing her, they placed her in a room upstairs.Since Lydda was near Joppa, the disciples heard that Peter was there and sent two men to him who urged him,“ Don’t delay in coming with us.”Peter got up and went with them. When he arrived, they led him to the room upstairs. And all the widows approached him, weeping and showing him the robes and clothes that Dorcas had made while she was with them.Peter sent them all out of the room. He knelt down, prayed, and turning toward the body said,“ Tabitha, get up.” She opened her eyes, saw Peter, and sat up.He gave her his hand and helped her stand up. He called the saints and widows and presented her alive.This became known throughout Joppa, and many believed in the Lord.Peter stayed for some time in Joppa with Simon, a leather tanner.

But when you grow old, you will stretch out your hands and someone else will tie you and carry you where you don’t want to go.”He said this to indicate by what kind of death Peter would glorify God. After saying this, he told him,“ Follow me.”So Peter turned around and saw the disciple Jesus loved following them, the one who had leaned back against Jesus at the supper and asked,“ Lord, who is the one that’s going to betray you?”When Peter saw him, he said to Jesus,“ Lord, what about him?”“ If I want him to remain until I come,” Jesus answered,“ what is that to you? As for you, follow me.”So this rumor spread to the brothers and sisters that this disciple would not die. Yet Jesus did not tell him that he would not die, but,“ If I want him to remain until I come, what is that to you?”This is the disciple who testifies to these things and who wrote them down. We know that his testimony is true.

Acts 10:9-33
The next day, as they were traveling and nearing the city, Peter went up to pray on the roof about noon.He became hungry and wanted to eat, but while they were preparing something, he fell into a trance.He saw heaven opened and an object that resembled a large sheet coming down, being lowered by its four corners to the earth.In it were all the four-footed animals and reptiles of the earth, and the birds of the sky.A voice said to him,“ Get up, Peter; kill and eat.”“ No, Lord!” Peter said.“ For I have never eaten anything impure and ritually unclean.”Again, a second time, the voice said to him,“ What God has made clean, do not call impure.”This happened three times, and suddenly the object was taken up into heaven.While Peter was deeply perplexed about what the vision he had seen might mean, right away the men who had been sent by Cornelius, having asked directions to Simon’s house, stood at the gate.They called out, asking if Simon, who was also named Peter, was lodging there.While Peter was thinking about the vision, the Spirit told him,“ Three men are here looking for you.Get up, go downstairs, and go with them with no doubts at all, because I have sent them.”Then Peter went down to the men and said,“ Here I am, the one you’re looking for. What is the reason you’re here?”They said,“ Cornelius, a centurion, an upright and God-fearing man, who has a good reputation with the whole Jewish nation, was divinely directed by a holy angel to call you to his house and to hear a message from you.”Peter then invited them in and gave them lodging. The next day he got up and set out with them, and some of the brothers from Joppa went with him.The following day he entered Caesarea. Now Cornelius was expecting them and had called together his relatives and close friends.When Peter entered, Cornelius met him, fell at his feet, and worshiped him.But Peter lifted him up and said,“ Stand up. I myself am also a man.”While talking with him, he went in and found a large gathering of people.Peter said to them,“ You know it’s forbidden for a Jewish man to associate with or visit a foreigner, but God has shown me that I must not call any person impure or unclean.That’s why I came without any objection when I was sent for. So may I ask why you sent for me?”Cornelius replied,“ Four days ago at this hour, at three in the afternoon, I was praying in my house. Just then a man in dazzling clothing stood before meand said,‘ Cornelius, your prayer has been heard, and your acts of charity have been remembered in God’s sight.Therefore send someone to Joppa and invite Simon here, who is also named Peter. He is lodging in Simon the tanner’s house by the sea.’So I immediately sent for you, and it was good of you to come. So now we are all in the presence of God to hear everything you have been commanded by the Lord.”
