約帕 Joppa
使徒行傳 / Acts 9:36-43
36 在約帕有一個女徒，名叫大比大，翻希臘話就是多加〔多加就是羚羊的意思〕；她廣行善事，多施賙濟。
37 當時，她患病而死，有人把她洗了，停在樓上。
38 呂大原與約帕相近；門徒聽見彼得在那裡，就打發兩個人去見他，央求他說：「快到我們那裡去，不要耽延。」
39 彼得就起身和他們同去；到了，便有人領他上樓。眾寡婦都站在彼得旁邊哭，拿多加與他們同在時所做的裡衣外衣給他看。
40 彼得叫她們都出去，就跪下禱告，轉身對著死人說：「大比大，起來！」她就睜開眼睛，見了彼得，便坐起來。
41 彼得伸手扶她起來，叫眾聖徒和寡婦進去，把多加活活的交給他們。
42 這事傳遍了約帕，就有許多人信了主。
43 此後，彼得在約帕一個硝皮匠西門的家裡住了多日。
36 In Joppa there was a disciple named Tabitha (which, when translated, is Dorcas), who was always doing good and helping the poor.
37 About that time she became sick and died, and her body was washed and placed in an upstairs room.
38 Lydda was near Joppa; so when the disciples heard that Peter was in Lydda, they sent two men to him and urged him, "Please come at once!"
39 Peter went with them, and when he arrived he was taken upstairs to the room. All the widows stood around him, crying and showing him the robes and other clothing that Dorcas had made while she was still with them.
40 Peter sent them all out of the room; then he got down on his knees and prayed. Turning toward the dead woman, he said, "Tabitha, get up." She opened her eyes, and seeing Peter she sat up.
41 He took her by the hand and helped her to her feet. Then he called the believers and the widows and presented her to them alive.
42 This became known all over Joppa, and many people believed in the Lord.
43 Peter stayed in Joppa for some time with a tanner named Simon.
