Acts 9:36-43
Now
in Joppa there was a disciple whose name was Tabitha, which
in Greek is Dorcas.
She was devoted to good works and acts of charity. At that time she became ill and died. When they had
washed her, they laid her in a room upstairs. Since Lydda was near Joppa, the disciples,
who heard that Peter was there, sent two men
to him with the request, ”Please come to us without
delay.” So
Peter
got up and went with them; and when he arrived, they took him to the room upstairs. All the widows stood beside him, weeping and showing tunics and other clothing that
Dorcas had made while
she was with them. Peter put all of them outside, and then he
knelt down and prayed. He turned to the body and said, “Tabitha get
up.” Then she opened her eyes, and
seeing Peter, she sat up. He gave her his hand and helped her up. Then calling the saints and
widows, he showed her to be alive. This became
known throughout
Joppa, and many believed in the Lord. Meanwhile he stayed in
Joppa for some time with a certain Simon, a tanner.
John 10:22-30
A
t that tme the festival of the Dedication took place in
It
was winter, and Jesus was walking in the temple, in the portico of Solomon. So the Jews gathered around him and said to
him,
“How
long will you keep us in suspense? If
you are the Messiah, tell us
plainly.” Jesus answered, “I have told
you, and you do not believe. The works that I do in my Father’s name
testify to me; but you do not
believe, because you do not belong to my sheep.
My
sheep hear my voice. I know them, and
they follow me.
I
give them eternal life, and they will never perish. No one will snatch them out of my hand. What my Father has given me is
greater than all else, and no one can snatch it out
of the Father’s hand. The Father and I are one.”
