where is the story of dorcas in the bible
Dorcas Acts recounts that when she died, she was mourned by "all the widows...crying and showing (Peter) the robes and other clothing that she had made while she was still with them" (Acts 9:39).[1] The Greek construct used in this passage indicates that the widows were the recipients of her charity,[4] but she may also have been a widow herself.[5] It is likely that she was a woman of some means, given her ability to help the poor.[6] The disciples present called upon Peter, who came from nearby Lydda to the place where her body was being laid out for burial, and raised her from the dead.[6]
