Tabitha, called Dorcas in Greek, was known for her good works and acts of charity. She was a generous person who sewed for others and gave to the needy. She was probably a widow. She was also called a disciple of Jesus, that is, a follower, one who learned from him, part of the inner circle in the early church.
Where in the Bible does it talk about Dorcas?
One of the more beautiful stories in the New Testament is found in Acts 9:36-42 where we learn of a precious Christian woman named Dorcas (or Tabitha, in Aramaic). She lived in the ancient city of Joppa, which was an active seaport city on the Mediterranean Sea and one of the oldest functioning harbors in the world.
Did Jesus raise Dorcas?
As evidence of her charity, they showed him some of the clothes she had sewn, and according to the biblical account he raised her from the dead.
