At Joppa there was a certain disciple named Tabitha, which is translated Dorcas. This woman was full of good works and charitable deeds which she did. But it happened that she became sick and died. When they had washed her, they laid her in an upper room. Acts 9:36,37

Before Peter's arrival in Joppa, he healed a man bedridden and paralyzed saying to him, "Jesus the Christ heals you, arise make your bed." Then he arose immediately. So, all who dwell in Lydda and Sharon saw him and turned to the Lord.
When Peter had come, they brought him to the upper room. And all the widows stood by him weeping, showing the tunics and garments which Dorcas had made while she was with them. But Peter put them all out and knelt down and prayed. And turning to the body he said, “Tabitha, arise.”
Then he gave her his hand and lifted her up; and when he had called the saints and widows, he presented her alive. And it became known throughout all Joppa, and many believed on the Lord
"Whatever city you enter, and they receive you, eat such things that are set before you. "And heal the sick there, and say to them, 'The kingdom of God has come near to you.' " Luke 10:8,9
